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!

where exactly is it getting stuck??

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.

can you see around the cut-out where it's hitting the trim piece?

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!
