A-Pillar install

I bought the gauge pod and need to remove the A-pillar so I can run wires. How do i drop it down? Is there an install page I can checkout? I did a search but it didnt give me what I wanted.

if its a t-top car there are 2 screws at the top off it you will have to take out. Then it just pops off.

1mfyter,
Could you tell me where you bought the graphite paint to match the interior? Is there a part # or color code.
Thanks, Rick

You can also epoxy the pod to the cover, fill in the end gaps and smooth it a bit:

Epoxy/smooth pod

A-pillar

A-pillar 2

I got the "graphite" vinyl paint from The Eastwood Company, and it is a 98% match to the 94 graphite interior.

I even used the "graphite" paint to make a radio "filler" plate out of aluminum....
