they keep the radio from shaking to death beofre its ready to die. its also a grounding spot on that nut on the back.

i put the radio in yesterday and it looks soooo much better! no more blackhole in the dash. it makes it look more complete. i cant wait to see how it looks with the heater/ac system in also.

i didnt use any mounting brackets and i havent even put the screws in on the top of bezel and the radio doesnt shake very easily. although im sure it would on the road. i think ill just put the screws in and not worry about the brackets.

anyone know i am suppose to get from this(PO wiring. the wires come from both speakers):
