Abstract: Systems and apparatus for a bezel assembly for a heads-up display (HUD) unit located in an instrument panel of a vehicle, the instrument panel being adjacent to a front windshield of the vehicle. The bezel assembly includes a bezel having a rear edge aligned with a front edge of the instrument panel and an interior border defining a bezel opening. The bezel assembly also includes a chute located beneath the bezel and above the HUD unit. The chute includes an exterior border defining a top chute opening aligned with the bezel opening, and an interior border defining a bottom chute opening aligned with a display screen of the HUD unit and having a shape corresponding to the display screen of the HUD unit.

Abstract: Methods, systems, devices and apparatuses for a heads up display (HUD) unit assembly. The HUD unit assembly includes a HUD guard device. The HUD guard device has a first elongated member. The first elongated member is position on one or more surfaces of the HUD unit and along an edge of the HUD unit and is configured to protect the one or more surfaces of the HUD unit and the edge of the HUD unit during installation of an instrument panel. The HUD guard device has a first leg member and a second leg member. The first leg member and the second leg member each have a first end and a second end. The first ends are coupled to the first elongated member and the second ends are configured to couple and interface with the HUD unit to support the first elongated member.

Abstract: A vehicular assembly and a method of connecting a panel to a vehicular structure in order to form an assembly. The assembly includes a clip that is used to join first and second components each of which defines an aperture therein. The first and second components are sized and shaped such that upon being joined to one another, their respective apertures are substantially aligned with one another and held together by the clip. The clip includes a first connector portion and a second connector portion. The clip can be turned in a twisting or screwing motion about an axis of rotation such that upon insertion of the clip into the aperture of the first component and subsequent rotation, the first connector portion forms a locking engagement with an edge structure that is defined by the aperture of the first component.
