ckuske Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hi All, I'm looking at a radio bezel on eBay to replace mine (mounting hole is broken). However, the bezel is for a Ranger and I have an XL F-150. Has anyone managed to pry these off without permanent damage to install a different one? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzFace2 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Can you post up a picture of yours where it is broken? I may, I am sure I have a fix for it. Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rotated the picture but I think it's stuck in my cache from when I uploaded it the first time before rotating it... I'd eventually like to get a bezel with the original radio dimensions so I can put an original radio in, but I'll settle for one that's secure in the dash first.

They're just held on with foam tape like an exterior molding. Easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an easy fix with https://www.plastex.net/ I have used this to repair the dash bezel of my 70 AMC Javelin. There is lip across the top with holes in it that screws go thru like the 2 taps on your part. This lip was mostly missing. I had to make a forum like they use to pour cement footings and made a new lip. I then drilled new holes for the screws and it fit like it was a new part. And when they don't make an over lay for your car you make one. Put your mind to it and you can do anything http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/uploads/6/5/8/7/65879365/head-rotfl-57x22_orig.gif Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could also use this for some of my trim (A-Pillar, etc) that has some chips on the edges... this could make the pieces nice and smooth again.

The dash frame had a crack by the glove box I also filled in with the Plastex. I also used it on my trucks door panels. Someone drilled hold to use screws to hold it to the door and had a crack in a few places. I did a really quick fix so I could throw some SEM color on them to look some what good till I can get new panels. Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzFace2 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Nice work on that dash Dave! Thanks the silver carbon fiber when looked at fast looks like a base model dash till you look closer. Then you look closer at the gauges, custom gauges with the make & model of the car on the face, placed in the factory locations. What it looked like when I got the car from my brother. I am doing flush mounted front & rear glass on the car, started 5 years ago before I moved. I like making little changes that are hard to pick up unless you know the car or like my truck & the rear gas tank with factory mounted dash switch on a flare side that the factory never offered and the custom front bumper with lights in it.
