whats up people

i am installing a digital processor and i am stuck. the lower din under the Headunit is a shelf of some sort and i'm stuck trying to get it out. anyone know how to remove this pocket/shelf for a 2000 protege ES?

any help is appreciated.

thanks

 

You should be able to just pull the pocket out. If not, remove your deck - then you can grab the pocket from behind (oh baby ) for good leverage.

I know on the 2002s, the pocket (should be the same pocket) has a support "pin" that latches into a brace behind the dash. You might need to get at this pin, because the "latch" mechanism has a tendency to fit pretty tightly.

Best bet is to pull the deck first - you'll have much better access to the pocket and should have an easy time with it after that.

if you dont damage that pocket and youd like to sell it...let me know. take pic if possible.

 

actually, the pocket was pretty easy to get out. i took a little flat head, about 3 inches long, put it between the little gap on the side of the pocket, there is one on each side. and basically pushed ont he flat head a little bit and the pocket just popped out. pretty easy. spent 3 hours trying to figure that out. but at least now i know.

hope this helps anyone out in the future.
