John,
I found the same tendency on my TR4 last winter. On a TR4 it is in 2
pieces... the base and the radio mount piece. After being removed for 4 or
5 months.... an the car be up down on jack stands.... I was surprised how
difficult it was to get the radio support under the dash. Rather than
scratch up the beautiful wrinkle paint job. I resorted to a very minor
lift from a jack and a 2x4 short piece under the dash. Actually had to
switch to the other side to get it in without damaging the paint. But it
work just worked fine.
