thanks, I thought that was the type of "velcro" you were referring to. I have used that before. It does make a rather reassuring click when you press it together.

You are correct .its the bt66. From what I gathered the 68 was used when you had the chrome radio trim. Which is why I ordered the 66.

Get the BT68. It protrudes just a tad further to accommodate the chrome trim but will work great whether you have the trim or not. It has a silicone seal all the way around and I have yet to see one fall out.

Good info Shannon, wish I’d known that before . BT made it sound like the 66 was the only one I could use.
still happy , Little moding and good to go.

They'll also tell you that they won't guarantee fitment with other HU mounts but I've used the 68 with a Metra, Scosche, and a Hawg Wired mount and it works flawlessly with all of them.

I will add that my inner is painted so not sure how much difference that may make however I never had issues with the cover before paint.

Mine was a pain to take off in the beginning but it eventually got to where it would slide on and off without much effort. That’s when the problems started and I ended up just leaving it off.

Had the painted inner fairing as well.
