Right, im planning on putting a screen into my corsa, I was going to put it where the top LCD display is, like what claire richardson has done, however, I would prefer to keep it. My problem is, ive got the top vents out, relocating the hazard isnt a problem, but the tube/plastic mould that supplys the air feed to the left hand (passanger side) air vent is in the way, The one on the right isnt a problem. The screen will not fit in fully with this in the way. How can I get around it, Is it safe to just bash the screen in or shoudl I cut away at the tube itself.?

All help is appreciated

use fibreglass mate and convert it into a propper din slot

Although make sure you have blocked the the air tubes off properly, it isnt the best idea to blow hot air onto the back of the HU etc
