Default A Pillar Pod Not Fitting

Hi Guys

I bought 3 gauges and a Pillar Pod, exact one for this car which replaces the panel strip on drivers side, Now the dilemma, ive the put gauges in the pod all ok, put the pod on the A Pillar but this does not fit back as the bottom 2 gauges are touching the A Pillar and is out about 1\12 inch, Gauges out of the Pod and the pod fits perfect.

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong, Gauges are 52mm standard size.

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Cut the A-pillar plastic trim, or have you already done that?

Got a link to the item you bought?

Looks the same as the one from Nomad, but, at a higher price.

I have the one from Nomad, and you have to cut the A-pillar trim for it to fit.

I'll try and remember to take a couple of pics tomorrow.

What gauges do you have? They shouldn't be overly long, for it to fit with the A-pillar trim cut.
