pillar pod no fitty!!

[shaun friesen]

okay, i'm sure most of you guys have incountered this problem.  i bought a single pillar pod for a 1g talon and it won't fit even close.  so i was thinking about taking a heat gun to it or just fiberglass it so theres no seems.  but i'm kinda thinking fiberglass might not stick to the plastic.  what do u guys think?  anybody tryed this?  also, anybody have a spare tan pillar i can buy incase i screw up?!?!   :laugh:

i had same problem with mine. U have to use a heat gun and form it to the piller and it will magiclly fit perfect.

Welcome to Canada.  The apillar pods are made for the US market power seatbelts that slide down the a pillar so they don't fit our slimmer trim.  

If you take the trim off you can warm up the pillar pod a little then squeeze it onto the trim.  Then you or an assistant, depending on how hard it is to hold it there can draw or scratch a line down the edge of the trim.  Then just cut off the excess material from the pillar pod and drill some new holes and mount it up.

Since pillar is too long on the sides I took Sheet metal Cutters and cut-off 1/4" off each edge; it worked great and looked flush.

Also I don't use the plastic clips to hold the pillar, since they are a pain to remove, if you have to. Black coloured 1/4' long screws, similar to once that hold ECU cover are perfect and easy to remove as many time, as you need.

yeah I used screws too, heated it up and clamped it on,  then I used a dremel with a cut-off disk and took off the hangover, smoothed it up all nice

thanks for the help guys.  i think i still wanna try to make it seemless.  probably try some fiborglass after i heat it up and get it to fit right.

if you really want the seamless look you can buy an entire apillar molded with gauge pods in it, think I saw them on buschur racing's site...
