anyone have their A-pillar gauges fall out?

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.

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.
