Is it a double din radio? If so just find a relatively sturdy and flexible flat piece of plastic and cut out 4 shapes like the attached image. Make them a bit narrower than the slots on the side of the radio and insert all 4 slopey side in and slope facing the inside of the radio. I used the top of a plastic box of finishing nails but something the consistency of a credit card would be fine (not sure if a card is long enough though). This worked very well for me and incidentally was recommended by someone else on these boards.
