1g lo tek pod install...

[echo]

i put the gauge on and everything is fine, but the top screw hole on the pod is at the end of the track for the seat belt. if i drll through the track will ths just stop the seatbelt a lttle bit early (1 inch) or is it more complicated then this. i am pretty sure i got the right pod because it fits fine at the bottom but the only prob is that hole. i guess because the belts on a track are a option that lo tek didn't think of. any help would be appreciated.

yeah i did one on my freinds his sits perfect in there, it has a really small screw in it though, he said his came with them

cut the screw so it does not penetrate all to the seat belt track

I don't have the 3 pod pillar but I've heard you can just use a shorter screw.

thx, im going to give it a shot today. i am probaly going to have to get a longer screw for the bottom one and a shorter one for the top because i took out the stock pillar and cut it down so that the only part left is above the window.

anyways....thx for the help

you could aloso use velcro or something, ive seen it done before.....

yea, i was thinking about doing that, but i think the screws will hold it alot better. i'm just gonna get a small screw and go into the track enoughh for the screw to bite down.

go to home depot or something like that, if i were you, try to get something with tighter threads (like a bolt type, not a screw), and then just drill a hole for the bolt type....

just be careful, don't mess up and end up costing yourself a new seatbelt track...

I got the lotek pod and i don't think it will work. What do i have to do cut my old a-piller in half so i could put the new one on? Because i got the electric seatbelts and my piller is one long piece.

well everything works fine. me and my dad went and bought 2 diff size screw... 3/4 and 1/2. i tried the 3/4 first, and we got everything hooked up and i was cleaning up while he went inside and i noticed the seat belt was clicking and it wouldn't let the belt down, so i pulled the 3/4 and put the 1/2 back in and it worked.

drewstealth94: what i did was kinda ghetto because i had no tools to use at the time. my parents bought one of those badass kitchen knives a while back (the one where he cuts through a hammer on TV). well i got that bad boy out and cut half of it off. i left about 2-3 inches for the pod to lay over that. it worked well. the knife really is a "handy tool to have around" good luck with it. i am seriously thinking about doing a write up for vfaq about this, because i searched all over everysite and couldn't find anythng until airpopoff helped me out.
