Hey Jeff...sorry it took so long forthe pics. I just got the mounting bracket today. I used 1 inch hex head self tappers (4). I put the Gorilla brand double sided tape on the top of the bracket (holds upto30 lbs) and I used the Gorilla brand Super Glue (bonds in 10 seconds). I coated the threads of the screws as I twisted them in...Over kill but I wanted to make sure they stayed in..lol...good and tight and snug now.Time will tell I guess but it seems to be mounted very snug. I ran all of my wires behind the pillar covers and behind the windshield trim. I leftmy externalspeaker under the dash and ran the wire behindthepillar and coverjust like the powersupply and coax. Hope this gives you an idea.

Thank you Big John, appreciate the pictures. Looks good up there. Sounds like it won’t come loose anytime soon!

Cheers, 🍻

Hey, I just noticed something else in your pictures that I need to do. My wife would like a hand hold to get in and out, I see you have one on the passenger side. It looks factory. Did you install that yourself? If so, what was it from? A thanks again, jeff

I took a set out of a wrecked 2004 Rav 4 andfiled down the plastic on the bottoms of the screw housings. Made them smooth and flush. Fit perfectly against the trim. I used the same 1 inch self tappers to mount them. Actually they


almost look factory...lol.
