Hey I installed the a pillar guage pod and it's very loose on the top side of the a pillar just wondering if anyone has a solution to mounting that doesn't invlolve drilling holes... I already try 3 m tape on the air bag and that donesnt work.. I'll drill holes if I have to I just can't stand floppy s***.. Thanks
 
so what's loose exactly, the pillar cover or the pod on the cover? i just installed one myself, and there's a special two-piece clip that allows the pillar cover to detach from the pillar to make room for airbag deployment, but to keep it in place at the same time (so the pillar won't go flying around the car). the clip is a bit tricky; when you reinstall you have to pull out the center part by rotating it 1/8th of a turn, slide it into the slot on the pillar cover, slide the bottom of cover into place, and press the top of cover (housing the clip peg) into the clip. it should snap and make everything snug.
if the pod is loose i wrote all this for nothing :) but i'm sure it can be totally secured with double-sided tape or such.
 
I installed mine on the pillar with a universal gauge pod because i had the same problem when i got the full pod , I just gave the full gauge pod to my friend and got a universal one for about $20.00, here is a picture on how it looks.
