An OEM strength double sided tape.
So far it’s survived several years in the FL sun/heat, and has been removed & reinstalled a few times, no issues.

Things no working are: radio, dome light, map lights, cargo light, glovebox light, under hood light, power mirrors, ignition halo.
So IOD fuse it is... took a few minutes to work out how to get the fuse out of the carrier (nothing in the owner’s manual), but I got it, and all is working again.

Just for you, here’s a pic of what I did.

I just cut a section from the top of the factory piece and taped it to the GlowShift pod with 3 strips of double sided tape.
The bottom tucks between the steel A pillar and the dash... the section with double sides tape applied is clipped into its location, and the pod is aligned and pressed firmly into place.
As you can see I had to epoxy the clip to the plastic some years before.
The double sided tape has held up well.

Thanks for that pic! I just looked at glow shift for my 01 and their pillar actually replaces the factory one. On my 96 you screw sit to the factory one and I didn't like the fit. Appreciate it man. How you liking that cabin air filter you installed?

Lov’n it... leaves piled high on the cowl, nothing getting in to the fan... no smells.
Damn fine investment... wish I’d done it years ago.

Nope... came with screws and instructions to use.
Still, I’m happy with my mod.
