104061 | Dash Mount (Pro) | Ford F-150 & Raptor (2021+)

Introduction

Installation is very straight forward. The laser cut and CNC formed bracket attaches to the tray located above the dash using five machine screws, included in the hardware kit. The five .25" holes used must be drilled by the user in the OEM tray. Should you choose to return to stock, the OEM rubber mat inside the tray conceals the holes.

NOTE: If you happen to break a plastic factory clip during install, no worries, we've got you covered. Send us an email at support@builtrightind.com and we will get you squared away.

Installation

1. Remove the Rubber Dash Tray:

• Lift out the rubber tray from your dash. It may be smaller or larger depending on whether you have a center speaker.
• Optional: Use masking tape around the edges of the dash to protect the surface during prying.

2. Remove the Speaker Grille:

• Pry the grille: Start by using trim tools or your fingers to pry off the speaker grille.
• Tip: Warm the dash area if you're in a cold environment to make plastic prying easier.

3. Remove the Two Bolts:

• Use a 7mm socket to remove the two bolts around the center speaker. If you don't have a speaker, the bolts will still be in the same place.

4. Remove the Dash Tray:

• Pry on the front edge of the dash tray using a trim tool or your fingers. Work your way around, popping the clips straight up (do not twist or pry them sideways).
• Unplug the speaker (if applicable) once the tray is free.

5. Modify the Dash Tray (If Needed):

• Check for nubs: If your tray has two nubs that interfere with the support plate, trim them off with a rotary tool or knife.
• Smooth the surface: Clean up the cut areas with a knife to make the tray flat for the support plate.

6. Position the Support Plate:

• Hold the support plate up to the tray and remove any ribbing that might obstruct drilling holes for mounting.
• Ensure alignment: The dash is angled towards the driver, so the grid pattern may appear uneven—this is normal.

7. Mark the Drill Holes:

• Place masking tape on the tray where the support bracket holes will be.
• Mock up the support plate on the dash tray, and  ensure proper alignment, then mark the hole locations on the tape.
• You can thread the hardware in "upside down"(through the bottom of the bracket upwards), and then slide bracket under loosened bolts above the radio. Push the bracket all the way toward the front of the vehicle, and tighten the bolts.
• You can place the dash mount back into the opening, and push down on the "upside down" hardware to mark the drilling locations underneath.

8. Drill the Holes:

• Start with a 1/8" drill bit to make the pilot holes, followed by a 3/8" bit to enlarge them for the hardware.
• Make sure the holes are large enough to give some wiggle room for final alignment.

9. Remove & Adjust the Support Bracket:

• After marking and drilling, remove the support bracket and any upside-down hardware.
• Push the bracket towards the front of the vehicle for final placement.

10. Reinstall the Dash Tray:

• Reconnect the speaker (if applicable) and align the dash tray back into position.
• Pop the spring-loaded clips back into place starting from the front and working towards the back.

11. Attach the Dash Mount:

• Place the dash mount over the drilled holes.
• Use a ball-end Allen key to insert and tighten the screws into the forward and rear threaded inserts. The two forward screws are optional but can be added for extra stability.

12. Final Steps:

• Reinstall the two 7mm bolts on either side of the speaker (if applicable).
• Snap the speaker grille back into place.
