Are there any tabs that come down off the side?

If there is something there you can drill small pilot holes and run some screws through it. Thats what I had to do to mine.

Oh no!!! Don't do that! Just go get some black or clear silicone, and line the inside lip of the top half (the pod) with it. Then stick it to the lower half. BE CAREFUL not to get silicong everywhere! When you need to remove it, just pull it apart, clean the silicone off, reglue it. It's simple! Be sure to let the silicone dry for 8-12 hours before driving it, to let the bond form strongly.



I hope that made sense, I'm drunk.

Thats not really fair because you dont sell CHEAP KNOCKOFFS





the one from the store should be siliconed onto the column and then held tight with a rubberband untill it dries

It might work but its ******* rediculous. You pay that much money for the pod and you have to glue the ******* thing together...thats gay.
