Default A pillar pod question

Does anyone know if the A pillar pod for the WRX wagon is different from the WRX sedans?
Thanks.

the wagon a pillar is about 3/4 inch longer than the sedan. There would be no reason for Lotek to build a Wagon specific a pillar if it was the same as the sedan.

pillar mounted pod = different

dash mounted a pillar pod = same

wagon is TALLER then the sedan
thus, the A-pillar is taller...

i think 99.999% of the wagon guys modify Sedan pods to fit.
not sure anyone makes a wagon-specific a pillar mounted pod


cheers

just curious subie gal,

How did you secure the dash A pod? I used silicone glue a while ago, and its somewhat secure but coming off over time. Just wondering if you have a "permanant" solution.
