3D model description

Turn your cruze into an information center with this gauge pod design. Allows you to retain the functionality of the defrost vent and gives it a new look.

Model is for RHD
Pictures represent LHD

Start with removing your existing defrost vent. Using your newly printed drilling jig. Place drill jig on top of defrost vent align on top Left of vent and your set to drill. Drill three 1/8 in holes the jig provides. Using #25 drill bit by hand drill the 2 outside holes of the defrost vent. The outside holes fit 4mm x16mm screws. Next using a dermal or (cutting device) carve out the center hole to desired size for the gauge wiring harness. Next using the #25 Drill bit on the newly printed defrost vent gauge pod by hand clean up the 2 mounting holes. Using the 4mm x 16mm screws slowly thread them into the holes using a back-and-forth movement to create threads for the screws. As the screw is doubling as a thread tap. Now you are able to mount your newly 3d printed defrost vent gauge pod.
The small hole on the bottom face of the defrost vent gauge pod is for a 3mm set screw. Using the 1/8 drill bit, drill the small Pilet hole. Using the 3mm set screw place in hole using the back-and-forth motion to thread the set screw into place enough to hold the gauge in place. You are now ready to show off your newly 3d printed defrost vent gauge pod.

Tools needed.
Dermal or (cutting device) for center wiring harness hole.
1/8 drill bit
#25 drill bit

Hardware needed to mount gauge pod to defrost vent.
4mm x 16mm button head socket screw
3mm x 3 set screw (3d printer set screw)
Gauge pod has a small hole on the bottom designed to use a 3mm set screw to secure your gauge into the gauge pod.

Depending on the gauge you use and the filament you use for the pod you may have to sand the inside of the gauge pod for the exact fitment for your gauge.
PLEASE DO NOT FORCE YOUR GUAGE INTO THE POD
This may lead to damage to your newly printed gauge pod.
