wjbarton Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Man - my nice install in our just-purchased 04 Expedition was thwarted when I realized the Z2 can't open because of the kit - it starts to open, gets stuck, and closes back, oddly tilted a little more than where it started. It'll tilt back down if I go to the tilt option. I've seen a few posts with people having the same problem, but haven't seen what was done to fix it - outside of getting a different kit. I'll try to post an image later today. Ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 where exactly is it getting stuck?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wjbarton Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 It starts to open, with the bottom starting to slide out and the top sliding down... the bottom gets about a half inch or less away from the unit, then it pauses, then closes again... hope that makes sense.

CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 can you see around the cut-out where it's hitting the trim piece? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wjbarton Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 It's working now - went to an audio shop and picked up another of the same metra kit - the one I had was apparently a little warped according to the guys there. I still can't see where it's warped, but the new kit definitely works. So for others having a problem where the installation kit won't let the unit open, try another kit. Thanks!
