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 two .25" holes used must be drilled by the user in the OEM tray. If you need to revert back to stock, you can replace the rubber mat to cover the holes after removal.
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. Mark the Drill Holes:
- Mock Up the dash mount in the dash tray.
- Thread the included bolts in the holes you just removed the bolts from to hold the dash mount in place while marking the holes.
- Mark the front bracket hole locations for drilling with a marker or sharp pointed object.
- Remove the dash mount.
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).
- pull the dash tray toward you, and once free, unplug the center speaker.
5. Drill the Holes:
- Start with a 1/8" drill bit to make the pilot holes, followed by a 1/4" bit to enlarge them for the hardware.
- Make sure the holes are large enough to give some wiggle room for final alignment.
6. Install the Dash Mount and Tray:
- Mount the dash mount to the dash tray using the 2 Phillips screws through the holes you just drilled. Place a washer and a nut on the backside, and tighten. Verify that the rear mounting holes are aligned with the preexisting holes in 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.
- Install the longer included screws into the rear holes in the mount, and tighten.
You're done!
