Lo-Tek Gauge pods?

[Sic95gst]

Is anyone using the Lo-tek triple full pillar? and if so did you have any issues with fitting it right? I put mine in but i can't get it to fit right under the grey molding that surrounds the door. It looks great but fitment seems to be a little off, so i'm just looking for tips or suggestions. Thanks and i'll post pics soon.

ya I have one, at first I was like wtf I paid for this things and it doesn't even fit right but it takes a little tweaking to get in just perfect. my advice would be to line it upwith where the stock one was on the headliner and go from there. worked for me and it looks great now also.

mine fit's like a champ....had to kinda wiggle it awhile before it fit perfect, but it's a very nice piece

i was thinking that i could just shave about 1/4 of a inch off the side that goes under the grey rubber. I'll let you guys know how it works out. Also my Autometer gauges have those metal pieces for the metal bracket but it is to long to put the gauge in flat, did anyone else have this problem?

just cut the little posts of the back of the gauges that's what I did.

Did you remove your oem pillar cover?

Yah, mine seems a little off. If you put it under the molding on the
side it sticks up on the other side and you can see the insides of the
the guage pod from outside the windshield. Maybe i need to play w/
it and redrill some holes. I think a screw in the middle would help it
too, anyone try that?

Yes i removed my OEM pillar or else it wouldn't fit at all! yeah i'm gonna cut the posts off because they seem useless if your using the pod.

That sucks. I've owned three over the last 5 years and all have fit very well without need for modification. Maybe you're seeing some imperfection that I didn't notice though, hehe.

Keep playing with it! Mine was like that... After it is under the molding, the other end tucks up into the corner of the windshield.

Ive had a 2 pillar and a 3 pillar and both fit very well, the 3 pillar was kind of hard to fit in, but now it fits perfect.

Thanks for the answers guys,, im sure some messing w/ it is all I need. I put it on in 10 degree weather back in december so I didn't exactly line up everything.

hey this has nothing to do with different fitting, but i heard that you had to screw the full a pillar replacement into the car. Is that true? I dont know if that question is understandable or not, if it isnt, sorry

 

[Airpoppoff]

yes you do
