anyone know the part number

[joe-yamma]

I got the cubby replacement for cd changer part # 8-97129-980-0 from St. Charles and installed it tonight, but it doesn't seem to fit correctly
I used the brackets from the CD changer and pushed the plastic pegs into the holes on the bracket and then screwed in the brackets... is this incorrect?
The box holds firms, but there is a gap between the front of the box and the trim.
Please help.

NOT being smart, could itbe upside down?

I don't remember using any brackets when I installed mine. It just bolted right up to where the CD changer was and the trim snapped back on around it.

thanks Moncha, but I tried flipping it over and it is the same.

AnalogVX - that may be the answer... I had to use the CD Changer brackets with mine... maybe they sent me the wrong one.

I just talked with Merlin and from what he sees, the box doesn't come with brackets, etc.
Would anyone be willing to take a pic of their cubby and send it to me for comparison?

One on right is correct and mounts fine - left one might be able to take CD brackets....

thanks Tone... i got the box on the left and used the brackets from the CD changer.
i inserted the two plastic "pegs" on each side of the box into the holes that were used on the cd brackets to bolt them onto the CD changer (the holes lined up perfectly).

this resulted in the box mounting firmly, but the front of the box is approx 3/8" from the back of the trim leaving a gap.

i could probably drill new holes in the CD changer brackets to accomodate the plastic pegs, but i wanted to see what everyone else used.

is that box on the right the old part number that was discontinued or can i still get it?

ps - i will take a pic of my box and mounting tonight
