Installing CF A pillar Gauge Pod

I have had my dealer install the CF A pillars I purchased from Evomoto. The 2 sided tape they use keeps coming loose in the heat under the weight of the gauges. What should I be using to attach the Cf to the stock A pillar? BTW, the fit of the CF cover is pretty bad.

Thanks. I'll look into that. The tech at the dealership said that Autometer makes some kind of pin/screw for pods.

Whats the brand of those A-Pillars? I thought they were direct replacement, not covers.

I find it hard enough putting the stock ones back on, let alone adding material to them.

Actually I'm not sure who manufactures them but I purchased them from evomoto.com
http://www.evomoto.com/product_info....products_id=80

They are described as covers not replacements. They did not come with any detailed installation instructions. I also have the B-pillars and they look nd fit great

I had the exact same issue, and it drove me crazy...it will eventually start happening to the passenger side too, what I had to do was screw screws into them and problem was solved...I Will try and get pics for you later...

Thanks. I'd be interested in seeing the pix. What kind of screws and where?

USe blackhead rivets and 2 sided tape. That works well and you can barely see them.
