Hey guys, I have a problem that's starting to really irritate me. I have a 2002 4 door blazer. The stereo is a anti-theft stereo. The problem is I cannot find a dash kit that will fit at all for the aftermarket stereo that I just bought. Ive bought 2 different dash install kits that said they were meant for a 2002 blazer. The problem with them is that they are too narrow and the holes they provide for the screws wont reach too where they are supposed to go on the dash. The dash kits need to be a little bit wider for them to fit. Ive looked everywhere for different kits but haven't seen this problem anywhere else.
Here were the recent ones I bought and they ended up being the same width and DID NOT work!!

Currently, only 2 screws are needed to attach the OEM stereo to the dash. Id believe this would be the same for an aftermarket 1 Din stereo. Any help, info, or tips would greatly appreciated!
-Thanks

here is what i found should fit. its a multi kit that will do tahoe, blazer, ect. i opened the pdf of the owners manual and it both lists the 2002 blazer and has the step by step install with pics. and be careful with the metra guide, it has a lot of fail points that i know of. When i installed professionally, we used it as a tool for a while but we kept ending up with the parts not fitting right. just a word to pass along.

Thanks for the help, but I dont think it will work for my application. I noticed on the PDF file, that it doesn't have the correct brackets i believe. There should be 1 screw hole on each side and they should be on the same level of each other. There were brackets that had 2 screw holes on each side that seemed far apart from eachother. Also, correct me of im wrong, but will that kit fit a 1 Din radio?
Sorry if im coming off paranoid, but Ive already bought 2 kits that haven't fit (and they said they would), so Im kinda weary about buying another 1 unless im 100% sure it will fit. I will take pictures here shortly to show you my situation!
-Thanks again!
EDIT: here are some pics. You can tell that the dash kit is narrower than the OEM radio and wont attach inside the dash correctly!

i got it from this info, so it should fit the 1.5 din.

maybe this is the one then?

it looks like the holes match up better in the 99-3300 but you wont have a tray afterwards.
it that doesnt look right or you are worried i would suggest you goto an audio shop or best buy and have them test fit before you buy it. i know i was stuck a few times test fitting to find the right one.
and i understand, when i had a honda passport, i bought 4 wire harnesses before i realized it was a special order that was backordered and then i just cut the harness out and hardwired in.
