I'm with KennedyFord on this one. I used a short self tapping SS screw and anchored the whole assembly using just one screw mounted out of sight around the corner below the sun visor hinge. I pre-drilled the guage pod first and then ran the screw into the factory A-piller trim.

[QUOTE=Tenn01PSD350] Black cloud's pillar stuff is better.

I went to home depot and i use there 3M double sided outdoor/indoor tape. My instrument cluster bezel came with some 3M 2 way tape, but it was no good, so i peeled it off and used the outdoor/indoor tape done. That sucker hasnt moved since. My A pillar pod is mounted with one push pin in the top, its mounted to the original Apillar trim.
