Mounting a Raptor shift light on the A-pillar...

I'm trying to figure out how to secure this thing to my driver's side A-pillar. Any ideas? Velcro won't hold; the sun heats the glue & it just falls off. The light works great, but every afternoon after the sun heats up the car, the mount falls off of the pillar, and the shift light just dangles from the wires...

Scotch 3M "Super Heavy Duty" double-sticky indoor/outdoor mounting tape will hold up to the sun. Not the paper thin stuff, it's about 1mm thick.

Yes it did come with a mount, but I didn't want to screw a hole into the plastic of the pillar.

I'll definitely try some; thanks!

I just followed the instructions on the Raptor website. The hardest part was figuring out what wire to tap into from the PCM for the tach. Just take your time & follow the instructions, it's not bad.
