Friday night I took my brick to an independent stereo place to have the aftermarket head unit moved to the upper slot. (The prev. owner had it in the lower slot, almost out of my reach and in the way of the shifter. In the top spot was that gray-lined plastic dash pocket.) I thought it was obvious that I wanted the pocket in the bottom slot; it's useful for stowing misc. stuff. But they fabricated a plastic panel to put there and said the old pocket was used for this. (I wonder about this; the plastic on the pocket was a different texture and thickness.)

On top of this, they put the storage "ledge" (just above the a/c controls) in backward! I didn't notice at the time. (It was dark.)

I'm going to take my car back tonight and demand they fix this and maybe ask for a refund.

Does anyone know if the upper dash pocket would have fit in the lower slot? (The lower slot appears larger.) And can replacement lower pockets be bought?

I'm really ticked they did such an amatuerish job and didn't ask my permission to cut/paint parts of the dash.

Thanks for any help!
