star nuts.
Reinstall the rear radio controls into the
video console by pushing in until it snaps
into place. Install the mounting brackets
onto the side of the video console. The

down, and the smaller holes behind the video console. Line up the predrilled
holes in the video console with the holes in the bracket. Secure the bracket
with the supplied #8 x 1/2" sheet metal screws. Repeat procedure on opposite
