head unit installation kit, rubbage? Options

[NgoFcukinWay]

So when I got my car, there already was an aftermarket Pioneer head unit installed with a lidded pocket underneath it. With the Pioneer installed, it didn't have a problem with letting the face fold down to let me insert or eject a CD, but with my new Alpine CDA-9857, the trim panel around the radio kinda sits on the faceplate and won't allow it to open. It did the same with the CDA-9855 I have but would still allow the motorized face to open every once in a while. I'm not too concerned about the CD part since I have an iPod cable now, but it just bugs me that it does this, so I might have to shave the panel around the radio down a bit. Did anyone else have this problem? Is it just a matter of design for the radios? What installation kits do you guys have?

Alex - all you have to do is take the bracket's monting holes with a small round file and elongate them upwards slightly until the radio clears. Still attached to the radio is fine as long as you mind the chips. You can see how much I did mine to get an idea. Now my face sits flush with the bezil but doesn't rub on the top.
I got the perfect file in my car ATM. We'll wait till after the Hurricane [Which BTW is gonna tear up the south side but we'll be fine out here in the NW - always are]
