ok... i still dont know which tabs to bend (i'm assuming 2 of the top, and 2 of the bottom... but not anything on the side) and how to bend them ( 90degrees to what they used to be? ). also.. is the right way to do this is put the bay in is to do this?

1) put it in the din adapter
2) bend tabs whichever way
3) put whole thing into car

i did this first.. and i couldnt get step#3 to happen, because the metal tabs were blocking something... so... i did this

1) put adapter in car
2) put bay in adapter
3) bend tabs from the outside in....

i think this is the error... and thats why i need to know HOW to bend them correctly.
