Default Fitting An Aftermarket Headunit Into MK6 Escort

on the original factory headunit in an escort there is a plastic clip on the back of it and that hooks onto a rail and this is what keeps the headunit locked into place.
but when u put an aftermarket stereo in, they dont have the clip and its not possible use the original one, so how do u keep the new stereo in place??


cheers
