Stereo Install Kits?

Metra Lists three different plastic adapters to install a single DIN aftermarket stereo in the Excursion.

Anyone have any experience with either of them?

Metra Part # 99-5027 | Ford Dash kit | Lincoln Dash kit | Metra Online

Allows the radio to be screwed in from the sides rather than using the flimsy metal sleeve
Screws to dash using climate control screws

Metra Part # 99-5802 | Ford Dash kit | Lincoln Dash kit | Metra Online

Requires metal DIN sleeve from aftermarket radio
Snaps into dash bezel

Metra Part # 99-5804 | Ford Dash kit | Lincoln Dash kit | Metra Online

Requires metal DIN sleeve from aftermarket radio
Screws to dash using climate control screws

I'm thinking the first one will be the most secure since it uses screws to hold everything together.

I'm also looking to upgrade a stock 2000 head unit to something more modern. Did you make a move or does anyone have suggestions?

I have documented what I have done in this above referenced post. Details of the head unit and the metra kit are also in that post.

I think they are looking for single DIN solutions. Like me, you did a double DIN installation.

Honestly, I'd go with a more modern Double DIN head over a Single DIN. If you go Single DIN you are only adding another cubby storage slot to your dash. To do a Double DIN you only need to trim the recessed upper and lower lip. The sides remain intact and if you ever want, the Factory radio will still lock in place just like it used to.
