Help fix broken radio mounting area

[Devedander]

92 civic, previous radio was stolen and on the way out damaged the area the radio is to be installed in. If you look at the hole that the radio should go in, there is a small border inside it that serves to hold the mounting rack in place. The top and bottom lips on this were broken off so now the new radio is all loose in there.

Any advice on how to repair this so the radio will sit tight? The only solution I can come up with is a new center panel which is $200...

Thanks for the pointer, any idea how to search for the center panel? I can't find it anywhere in the lists, the closest I can get is the dash cover which is not the piece I need (the piece I need is the big plastic part that goes all the way from around the cruise control button over the steering wheel and surrounds the heater contorl and radio area).

Once you locate the model you need you may need to call and check if these parts are available.

Try Dash Panel and Gauges/Clock/Instrument Cluster

Thanks, I will try that.
