Default Anyone else got this problem?

My cd player in my car keeps falling down because the front panel (sort of thing) is to weak...............

What can I do to keep it in place, so I dont have a massive gap at the top?

bodge and westy should not be used in the same thread, let alone the same sentance

best bet.. is get the adapter.. but try that radio shop near PTS, will be cheaper and I'll fit it for you, as it will definately need a mans touch
