with summer approaching its getting hotter, well summers here for most of us....

it gets hot in our cars, and ill come back from school or interning and my boost and ex. temp gauges are sticking out and sideways. WTF?? the fit is snug and they never do it when im driving.


maybe its a kitteh that comes out when im gone and messes with my gauges. yeah thats it.


explain.

 

Leave the door unlocked? Maybe someone tried to take them.

All the gauge pods I have seen are a tight friction fit, so it would take many heat cycles to move the gauge even a little.

 

yea i dont get it. when i try and pull them out myself when my car isnt frying hot inside, its not an easy task. i usually cant get them out without taking off the gauge holder. maybe the heat expands the holders and the gauges just move from gravity...

oh well. thanks aaron.

 

the gremlins are coming out!

 

I have mine bolted with 4 small wood screws to avoid that

 

on that subject, i wonder how hot those gauges can get before bad things start to happen.....?
