Default New HU mounting assistance

OK, so the new HU is connected and I'm all set to mount it in my dash(02 Pont WS6) Got the dash kit and all that, but what do I screw the bracket on the back of my HU to, to keep it from sliding around? Any mounting advice would be appreciated!

back strapping is not needed, it will not slide around

uhh then you didnt do something right.... did you use the little metal surround that snaps into the plastic pretty snugly?

the tabs on the metal slidin thing on the HU need to be bent up snugly against the dash kit.

Default eh

problem solved(at least i think) the HU was an open box buy. myer emco neglected to include the sleeve that gets attached to the dash kit. a quick call and a trip tomorrow to pick up the missing piece should take care of it.

OH yea that's definatly the problem ... that'll cause her to slide right out into the floor board if you take off ... like I do the sleave is what holds it in place
