Try some cement glue for a more permanent mount. It will dry overnight and be really strong.

Yeah, if you pull hard enough, it will come off. It should be strong enough to hold it in place. Just glue it on, and tape it to the surface overnight until the glue dries completely.

OOO. . So your fuel management kicks in right away sweet!! lol .. just messing with ya. I knew a guy with a older Vic that made his vtec button activated, so he could turn it off or on at will. . He put it where his horn button was.. Crazy stuff, probably a chaper mod too.
