Hey fellas, got a 87 El Camino. Bought the car on April 2018. Well I got it with the radio bezel laying on the floorboard. It's in fine condition, well I finally got a radio for the car and ac controls. Put the radio and controls on and the cover cover won't fit.

It's not hitting the radio or the AC. It the type of bezel that fits over the square opening. Is it possible the dash expanded over the years?

I'm not sure how long the bezel has been off the car before I bought it but it looks like it needs to be pushed in about half an inch to sit flush where it should be. Any solutions to this?

Also I tried to include pictures but for whatever reason I can't load them from my phone

Are you sure it's for a Camino and not a Cutlass or Regal?

I is also possible that the bezel you have if for an older el camino. They are different.

It sounds like you have the correct late model bezel for your 87' just watch close as you push it on and check for obstructions and make sure the power clip for the cigarette lighter isn't catching on the hole

I think you have to use chrome on this site for the phone pic thing to work
