flip out head unit in an 88, success or fail?

[CaptainKRM]

i have a head unit and install kit with a flip up screen i'd like to put in my 88 colony park. my concern is that with how far the radio is situated into the center stack that the screen will not come out far enough to clear the dash / trim above it. anyone here have something like this installed or any direct experience before i start taking the car apart? thanks in advance.

Can you show us a picture of what of unit you have ?

It fits perfectly with the dash trim off, with it on it doesn't sit perfectly straight but I used it for navigation on my long highway journey tis summer and it does its job as it should. With the screen all the way out it's just slightly off vertical, not a big deal really.
There was a member installing a real double din into a box, required some cutting and no final install pics but it did fit.
Is your dash trim like this?

The screen hits that ridge at the top of the woodgrain, I know they used a flatter dash trim but not sure when it changed.

I can see the screen very clearly, I'm not trying to input an address while in motion anyway.

it would be something like this;

i thought some people switched the radio with where heat and a/c controls are before

Then the knobs on the heater controls would hit the back of the screen, right?
