Double din problems in 02 tahoe

[BigPhil]

Well my bezel fits this million 7 inch touch screen I bought, but it hangs out away from the dash. I want it to fit in there snug and not look poorly done. It sticks out so far to almost touch the shifter. Any ideas on a radio that actually fits or DIY mods I could do to get it to fit all the way back. I thought about cutting but the thing blocking it from fitting all the way back is a metel piece. So any ideas would be helpful.

cut the metal piece.

cut the metal piece.

Yes. I've seen the metal backet cut on a lot of dd installs.

Cut the bracket I did to fit my dd. Fits flush with the dash.

Sorry to interrupt, but what is the main obstacle you find with the double-din install in this model?

Is it the dash piece surrounding all the instrumentation, radio, hvac, and on star (if equipped) controls?

Thanks.

Thanks guys so much, I was debating on doing it anyway but now that I have the go ahead it will be done!

If you check the crutch field site even they say you'll need to cut that bracket

No it's a bracket that runs behind the radio
