I dont know of any dash mod but thinking about it, wouldnt you just move the deck slightly further out so it has more clearance?

i made a little visor that slipped in between the CD player and the dash kit to hold it in place then wraped it in black felt to kind of hide it. It acts like a hat does for your eyes on your head.

the screen itself does not flip out...the controls are motorized and they flip out, it has all the clearance it needs and i have no problems from light so sliding it out or putting in a visor would be completely useless...i need a way so the front of the reciever is more straight and less slanted, i know its out there

Is it one of those decks with 2 faces where one slides down and out on an angle then there is another behind it?

What dash kit did you use to install it?
