Radio bezel warped or get new one or ??

[70RR]

I am just about at the end of my budget and took off radio bezel to clean radio..The bezel is warped..I hate to spent $60 on a $10 piece of plastic..Does any one know of an easy way to salvage or do I just bite the bullet and get a new one or look for a flat used one..Thanks Rick :eusa_think:

Have you tried heating up with a heat gun, careful not to melt, then put it under something heavy to press it back into shape?

How bad is it? Sounds like maybe you didn't notice or were not able to tell it's warped when it is mounted in the car???
If thats the case, use what ya got til you can find a replacement.
