MkI radio mounting question

[green536@hotmail.com (Chris DeLong)]

I fyou are very careful you can drill out the rivets that hold that bracket 
on. I havent had any problem fitting Alpine units into any of my MKI's. Just 
make sure you lift the harness for the hazard/defrost switches up above the 
radio while installing it. Oh, and if you opt to drill the rivets you will 
need to remove the instrument cluster or buy a REALLY long drill bit. HTH
