Autometer dual gauge pod rubbing the back of my steering wheel

I installed my autometer dual gauge pod last week and am having trouble getting it to fit without rubbing the back of the steering wheel plastic cover. Does anyone else have this problem? Also I checked to make sure it is sitting on the stock piece as tight as possible and it is. I am guessing my fix will be either filing some plastic off of the back of the steering wheel plastic or the gauge pod... Just looking to see if anyopne else had this issue and what the fix was.

Thanks!

I got my dual gauge pod from Rexspeed and it was a perfect fit. If there is some rubbing you can always use a dremel to give you enough clearance. Is it CF?

I had the same problem, you have to take the cover off the gauge cluster, and tuck in that rubber mat nicely behind the steering column, and secure the pod nicely with some good double sided tape or hot glue
