When I accelerate, the unit slightly shifts out of the dash. Is there a way to get this kit to "snap" into place?

I had the same problem so I replaced the side screws to screws with heads instead of flat screws. It seemed to do the job. Good luck.

I took the entire "cage" out and solid mounted the Metra adapter to the VW radio cage. Luckily though, my head unit had four mounting holes on each side that happened to line up with everything. You could probably rivet the adapter to the OE stuff if your head unit doesn't have the many mounting options that mine did... hope this helps.

I have developed the same problem ! Instead of pushing it in directly, try sliding it in from the bottom of the position.I can get it to stay like that, but it doesn't go in all the way. Still, it stays in place although not perfectly.If i find another solution, i will let you know.

You MUST ensure you have the driven gear FULLY SEATED. This gear SNAPS into place. You may think you have this gear in place but inspect the installation closely to ensure it snaps into place.

mine works fine. i would suggest pulling it out all the way and puttint it back in. could havem something stuck on the track.

did you align it straight? tilting works but it must be straight. I also had a factory tow package and just had to plug it all in. if you had to add wires,(other than a extension) you might look there.

I believe you need an offset on the output with a center on the input. This would align wrong on your vehicle. I think the person below me is correct.

If you are using the extension you probably want to remove it. Also, since your unit came with two suction cups, you might want to have them in line with the direction of travel. You could also place the mount on the windshield rather than the hood. Since that is a long piece of flat metal, it may actually be flexing. Just some thoughts.

That did the trick. Nice fix. This has happened to me several times. Will have to ensure I have a small screw driver in the car. Nice work!!!

You need to remove the factory mats and simply install these mats in proper direction. There are two holes in the driver's side mat which needs to be aligned and inserted in the bolts on the base of the driver's side and lock it. That way the mat won't move from its position.You can see on hole in the picture too

We had that problem & found that the bottom horizontal struts were collapsed for shipping. There is a button on either side which, when depressed, unlocks the thing & allows you to slide it out to it's full wheelbase extension. Hope this helps.

try pushing the wheels in tighter; they're supposed to snap in. you need to use some strength. put some elbow grease into it man.

Hi PD, have you tried adjusting the center bit with the included Allen wrench? Also what seems to be the problem?

Try heating up the cover in the sun a bit before attempting to stretch it onto the wheel. This worked pretty well for me. You could just set it on your dash and let the sun loosen it up a little. Then maybe stretch it over the wheel twisting it in a circular motion as you do. Hope this helped.

i think you have it "backwards". Just gently un-bolt the sides and swap them. That should do it!

Gee Joyce, I've not had this problem. Maybe one of the adhesive strips is not completely adhering to the vehicle?Possibly contact the manufacturer - they contacted us rather quickly. Good luck

Personally, I would seek another brand or unit. I bought it new & it didn't work. Wouldn't flip out the dash, so I bought a Kentwood. It has all the bells & whistles you need & then some
