DIY 8th Gen Corolla Modification Stereo Install

In this DIY I will show you how you can use your stereo brackets on a 8th gen Corolla when your stereo doesnt have the holes in the side for them to be screwed on . plus with out using a stereo instal kit . Most stereos will screw in but others wont . 

Once you remove the face plate of your stereo make sure you dremel the opening so that the stereo can slide in and out with ease . Some stereos you don't need to do this but this MOD is for the ones that make it difficult . In this case this is a flip screen stereo so you need room for the stereo to open up and close . 

This part here takes some time cause you have to put the face plate back on and pull the stereo out and then measure how far it sticks out , Once you have made your measurements make sure you mark with a marker where the OEM brackets will be placed when installing the stereo . Then with the help of Plasti Proxy you apply some on each side and then place the brackets so that it will bond to the stereo , be careful with the openings you don't want the glue to go inside . 

Once the perma plastic dries then you install the stereo , still in test mode to make sure its the proper measurements and then test the flip mode as well . 

Then install the face plate for the stereo and then your DIY is completed . 

I find it that this plasti weld has come in handy for many things and bonds tight .

DIY - Perma Poxy Plastic Weld Tips

In this DIY I will show you how you can use this poxy to repair the drivers side window switch plate .

Once you have the door panel removed , Make sure you clean the door panel from dust , dirt and grease .

As you can see in the photo the rear part of the face plate had been broken off but the front still clips . 

Once I mixed the poxy I apllied it to the front clip even though that piece was not broken I still wanted a good full tight grip , Then apply poxy to the back part where the door panel and the broken piece connect . Make sure you dont get it on the window switch because if that ever goes out you want to make sure you can easily take it out and replace it . You can take out the switch when your doing this or in my case you dont have to . 

Once you apply the poxy let it sit for 5 or 10 minutes then you can out the door panel back to the vehicle .

Once you poxy the face plate you have to remember you can never pop this off , You have to remove the whole panel . But in the end it is worth it and saves you money . This plastic plate is hard to find out at the junk yards .
