Anyone with CDA7897 or 7998 (fantom face)

my deck keeps gettin stuck and wont come out the dash. When is come out I have to slighty pull it for it to come out all theway. IT retracts normally though.

Is the unit in perfectly square? The problem is probably the rotary knob hitting, right? Usually this happens becuase the unit is slightly out of square

Its installed perfect and its not the knob. On the Right side of the deck thats where it starts hangin. Like today it did it all day and once today i came out all the way without any problems.
StreetEffect are u a ALpine dealer. IF so do u know when the new fantom face will come out and if they improved the track on it. I found out this other guy had one of those and he ripped the thing out the deck.

Check to see that where it is screwed into the car (ie the frame of the old radio) the screw isn't too tight...my CVA-1006 hung up the 1st time...it was b/c the screw was too tight and the face wouldn't make it by without touching it causing the sensors to stop the radio to avoid damage.

I'm looking to put in the CDA-7998.
Can you post some pics of your install? (HU)
Where did you have the faceplate made?
What else have you done to your system?
