Guage pod question

[crash2]

So how did you guys get your guage pods mounted to the stock pillar cover? I noticed they come with lil push pin things but I would think there is a cleaner way to mount them.

Are you going to put the aftermarket one over the factory one? If so you can use some kind of glue.. Using both will fit much better.

There are no holes. But one thing I just relized---if its glued to the stock pillar how will I get it off if I have to get a guage out?

double sided foam sticky tape. Clean both surfaces with alchohol first.

Good idea--I have a bunch of the GOOD stuff at work :awesomework:

My truck had gauges before I bought and they were help with double back sticky tape now the pod is gone and can't even tell it was there.

Ok lets see if this makes sense. Got the gauges all loaded into the pod. Got the stock one removed and swapped the tweeter into the new pod/pillar panel. The new panel doesn't even come close to fitting over the stock one--so I kinda toss the new one in place and it fits nicely---just no way to really secure it in place----does that sound right?

Are you having clearance issues with the tweeter hole hitting on the new pod?
