    Hey Dave, the pin is in correctly. It's resting flush against the tray tabs.

    Had same issue with mine. (Going from memory three years ago...)

    Your lock pins are wrong. The case bottoms out in the tray and the one pin holds it in. The second pin is inside the tray.

    Also check to be sure the plug in the back of the tray is correct allowing the case to go all the way in.

    Hey Larry I'm not sure I follow what you are saying. As it is now, the bezel hits the tabs circled in pink. I've attached what the connections in the back look like. Even if I could get the bezel further back in the tray, it could only push another 1/16" into the connections.

    Josh,

    Oh well...it was a shot in the dark

    It appears to me that from the last photo, you may have to mount the tray a little deeper with the two tabs you circled flush with the panel.

    My apologies if this isn't as helpful as I wish it was......It would be much easier if we could all be in the same room to figure it out

    I think the tabs circled in pink will go under the face plate.

    I'm sorry I don't remember more but I had the same issue and had to rethink the whole thing and then it fit.

    As Dave states.
    By now you have probably cut the panel opening to allow you to slide your tray in from the front. I undercut my panel and the two tabs are what is touching the back of the panel. Only my radio fits through the panel opening.
