Default 07, C6 Does your autometer pod fit correctly??

I got an autometer 2 gauge pod installed & the mold does not follow the line of the roof support too well.

* Do you have a C6 with an autometer pod?
* From outside the car, please look thru your windshield by the lower right corner near the reg sticker, does the pod fit correctly or is there a gap?

you know i do a lot of custom fabrication with fiberglass and carbon fiber, my specialties are custom interior dash fabrication consoles, sub enclosures, guage pods. i have built complete interiors from scratch if it doesnt fit right depending on what material it is you could A use a plastic filler. or b heat it up and form it. there are lots of other options as well. or you could just make your own from scratch thats the more fun way.

Hard to believe we could land a man on the moon 40> years ago but can't make 50 cents' worth of plastic fit an A-pillar!!! I've always had a problem with buying aftermarket made to fit a particular model and then you have to modify it to make if sort of fit!!!
