Anybody out there with a 2nd gen. mount guages below rearview. If so how did you do it, did you have to move mirror. Post any pics if you got any. thanks

 

Below the rearview mirror? No.

I do however have the one that mounts above the rearview mirror. It's held in place by a lip that slides over the headliner and velcro that adheres to the winshield.

And yes, the mirror must be relocated about one inch lower. Remove the mirror (T20 torx) then heat the metal "button" to remove it.

 

Yeah they must have sent me the wrong one .Thanks for the info though, that's what I was going to dom, I just needed a little confirmation. Mirror doesn't block too much of windshield does it.

 

I have found no problems with the mirror a little lower. I'm not tall (5'7"), maybe a taller person would have issues with it.

The only problem I've had with this pod is on real hot sunny days the adhesive on the velcro loosens up and the pod slips down and rests on the mirror. I'm trying a new adhesive as we speak.

 

Have you had a problem with the mirror falling off? I remember in our old ford the rear view mirror fell off and we tried gluing it back up with those rear view mirror kits, super glue, all sorts of stuff and we just couldn't get it to stick in this heat. I'd love to have my gauge mounted up there but now if my rearview mirror is gonna keep falling off.

 

Does anybody know where I can find such a gauge mount(above the rearview)??? I am in the stages of installing all gauges but with the auto I need 4 gauges. I know I can get 3 on the a pillar and told about a kit that locates one on top of my steering colum...has anybody done this or a better location???? Thanks Tayloe

 

I have triple A-pillar, and a single steering column. GaugeWorks makes the pods (a division of AutoMeter). There is a 4 gauge pod that mounts above the rearview mirror.

 

My rearview mirror has not fallen off.

 

How about a picture or two in your gallery? Have not seen one on a 2nd Gen...but would like to.
