    I am trying to mount the scangauge II in the headliner by the mirror with the clips from Dollar Tree. I saw instructions on a older thread. It looked simple enough, but I am having a problem getting it to stay put. When it does stay the scangauge is tipped up. I have a 2020 DCOR. I feel pretty stupid but need some advice. As many time as I have tried the liner is beginning to come loose.

    I'd love to see some pictures of a ScanGuage mounted in the headliner. I've got mine mounted along the upper lip in the Qi charging cubby; I've still got clear access to said cubby.
    Good luck with your project.

    @Oklahunter you should look in to a blend mount.

    I had the one in my Miata over the RVM, I used adhesive velcro to mount it. My 2011 Taco has it on top of the steering column in front of the gauge cluster. Wiring is much easier to route and hide, and it's right there with the rest of my instruments.
