Metra Single-DIN Dash Installation Kit for 1982–2000 Ford/Mercury/Jeep — Black bezel, rear support

The Metra 99-5510 is a single-DIN dash installation multi-kit that restores a factory-fit appearance when mounting aftermarket radios in select 1982–2000 Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and compatible Jeep vehicles.

If you want a clean, secure dash installation for a replacement radio without cutting or modifying factory trim, this Metra kit supplies the bezel, mounting hardware and rear support needed to install most single-DIN aftermarket and "snap-in" style Ford radios. Designed to match the original dashboard contours, the kit keeps wiring and chassis secure while preserving the OEM look of older Ford-family dashboards.

Will this kit fit my Ford, Mercury, Lincoln or Jeep from the 1980s–2000s?

The 99-5510 is a multi-application kit made to accommodate a broad range of single-DIN openings across Ford, Lincoln and Mercury lineups from 1982 through 2000, including some compact models like Festiva and Tracer. It also supports select compatible Jeep installations that share the same single-DIN footprint. Always cross-check fit notes for year and model to ensure compatibility with your exact dash castings.

• Fits single-DIN openings in many 1982–2000 Ford/Lincoln/Mercury dashboards
• Includes rear support for secure chassis mounting
• Compatible with Ford "snap-in" style radios and most aftermarket single-DIN units
• Works with select Festiva/Tracer and compatible Jeep installations

How does it keep the dashboard looking factory-fresh?

The kit provides a bezel and mounting hardware shaped to follow OEM dashboard lines so the installed radio blends with the surrounding trim. Its black finish and contours minimize visible gaps, while included supports prevent sagging or vibration that can reveal an aftermarket installation. That means the dash stays tidy and visually consistent with the vehicle’s interior.

• OEM-style bezel designed to match original dash contours
• Black finish for a discreet, factory-like appearance
• Rear support prevents radio movement and visible gaps
• Reduces need for trimming or filler materials

What tools and parts are needed for installation?

Basic hand tools are usually sufficient: screwdrivers, panel trim tools and possibly a socket set to remove the factory dash components and secure the kit. The Metra 99-5510 supplies the bezel and mounting/rear support hardware, but you may still need vehicle-specific wiring harnesses, antenna adapters or dash brackets depending on your radio and car model.

• Common tools: screwdrivers, trim pry tools, socket set
• Kit includes bezel, mounting pieces and rear support hardware
• May require separate wiring harness and antenna adapter (sold separately)
• Check vehicle-specific instructions before beginning installation

Is this kit made in the USA and built for durability?

Yes — the 99-5510 is manufactured in the United States and designed for long-term fit and stability. Materials and finish were selected to withstand normal cabin wear while preserving the dash’s visual integrity. Because it’s an installation-focused product, durability and secure mounting are central to its design.

• Manufactured in the USA for consistent quality control
• Durable components for long-term dash stability
• Engineered to support aftermarket single-DIN radios without sagging
• Black finish resists visible wear in a cabin environment

Who is this for: The Metra 99-5510 is intended for DIY installers, car audio technicians and owners of 1982–2000 Ford, Lincoln, Mercury (and compatible) vehicles who want a neat, secure single-DIN radio installation that looks factory-installed. If you plan to replace an OEM radio with a single-DIN aftermarket unit and want to avoid lengthy dash modifications while keeping a professional appearance, this multi-kit is a practical choice.
