Not bad! Still a little bit of a side gap from the dash surface, but you can get that out.

What i noticed from print to print is that if I lightly sanded the back edge (closest to the window vents) the sides would tend to sit down better. There is a curve on the dash from front to back as well as side to side and the sides would sit high and gap if the side to side curve depth varied too much from the dash. My guess is print variation along that axis.

It varied but was always very slight. We are only talking about maybe a millimeter or so of extra curve depth needed along that edge. On your split print it would mean taking a bit more out where the two halves come together and feather it back to the existing corners.

With the AC vents removed you can look through the holes in the part and see light where where it gaps on that back edge and sand it to shape until it matches...paying attention to how it impacts the side gap. Take your time, sneak up on it and you should be able to get there!
