Huge gap after installing swivel mount

[chucktaylur]

Has anyone encountered and found a solution to this? I dont think its a defect of the product itself. It seems like the metal mount on the passenger side is slightly longer than the one on the drivers.

My installation looks the same way. I have tried refitting many times. It seems as though the aftermarket company didn't make the cover piece large enough to cover the metal structure and the hooks not long enough to grab the underside of the upper dash panel. I tried grinding out the back of the cover piece with a Dremel. It helped a little but not quite enough. That long, thin piece of plastic that they include to improve the fit doesn't really help too much. The problem is obviously known to the factory otherwise they would not have made the extra part.

Amazing how every YouTube installation video show no gaps.

I have seen one of the videos mention the gap. It seems like it would have been an easy problem to fix. Perhaps it is only my opinion, but Hansshow (if this is their product) seems to bring out a lot of new and interesting products but rarely wants to revise the older products. For instance, take their 9" and 10.25" Tesla gauge displays. They offer over-the-air (OTA) updates, but I never see any significant updates available. Where are additional screens that could be offered if you don't like the three that are included? At least they understand that people like to have gauges in their line of sight.

Just posted on this but should have come here. I have the same issue!!! Does your backplate fit before the new swivel bracket is installed? Mine does!

Anyone have a workaround or are you just allowing it to be loose/fall off!!? It is only for aesthetics....

Hansshow = Chinese

Chinese = "Can be updated" does not equal "Will be updated"

Mostly "New features....Buy our new revised product".

Chinese tech = Expect features that is present on the product at time of purchase, but never expect more.

Buy a storage center console to hide that. I used it t hide my radar detector wires.

[neilrlsmith]

Ha! Very clever! What do you put in it And does the plate ever fall off??

 

[Wu01ok]

Doesn’t fall off sticks. Well at this time my sun glasses. Model y have lots of storage. And I don’t have lots of stuff lol. All these storage compartments.

 

[neilrlsmith]

No - I meant the swivel plate that you're trying to hide. Mine wont connect at the top at all!

Do you have a swivel mount? I dont think you would be able to swivel if you install one of those trays.

 

[Wu01ok]

Yeah I see what you’re saying maybe put the tray towards the ac more can give room to move it. Because the screen is sticking out more than the stationary one. So tray can lock into that middle piece cover.

Wow mine does not have that gap. Is yours pushed all the way in.? Mike had a filler piece if you had that gap it’s been 18 months since I installed it. But I would not be happy with that gap.

Of the 2 steel mounts that hold the screen in place, the passenger side one seems slightly longer. It must be a manufacturing defect. This is the reason the plastic cover won't go in all the way.

I have zero gap in mine, I would be ticked off if I had a gap like that! I think mine was a copycat version, I wonder if they improved the design when the copied it?

I have the same issue.... I thought it was just me. I took the whole assembly apart 3 times and got too frustrated with it. Even the way the temperature sensor is attached. The odd shape of it made it hard to hold straight to have it put on correctly.
