or take a heat gun/hair dryer heat the pod & form it to the pod....or get a stock airpillar & start hacking & fiberglassin

On the guagepods website it says 1992 to 1995. Did they change the A-Pilars in 95?

maybe you just misunderstood me. Won't the pillar for the auto windows have a slit in it for the power window to move through it? I don't want that I was just looking for a 3 pod pillar and just want a flush one without the potential slit.

this boys cheese has fallen off his cracker.
You have only one option. The pillar pod for the auto seat belts. Deal with it.

So let me get this straight... you have a 93 mx-3 with autobelts. Your autobelts don't work so you want to get an A pillar gauge pod to cover up the track. Here's why this won't work:
94-96 mx-3's don't have a track so the A pillar is about half as short so the pillar will only cover half of the track. If you use the A pillar from a 94-96 it's not going to fit properly and will require custom cutting/fitting. The A pillar from a 92-93 runs along the entire length of the track (about 4 feet long) and leaves a slit so the belt can run. If you truly want to do this right and "hide your track", you have 2 options:
option 1:
Get a 94+ headliner
Get 94+ A and B pillars
Get 94+ seatbelts
option 2:
Custom make an A pillar (and you will probably need to do this for both sides so it doesn't look weird on just one side)
What I would suggest is to buy the 92-93 pillar made for autobelts and use that
Why are you so worried about the slit anyways?
