SilverBullit,
There is no correct place to install the push pins. I just did mine last week and did the following:
Install Auto-Meter pillar pod over the factory A-pillar cover (make sure you have pulled the rubber door seal trim over both pillar covers which will hold them in place). Hold the Auto-Meter pillar in the position you want it and drill three holes (one towards the top, one in the middle and one towards the bottom) into the Auto-Meter pillar pod and through the stock A-pillar cover (don't go too deep and use a 3/16" bit). Make sure you hold the pillar covers tightly so all three holes line up when you're done. Take both of the pillar covers off and hold them together (matching the holes you've drilled in the outside portion) and drill three more holes on the "front" side (the side closest to the windshield) at the top, middle and bottom. As Midsouth mentioned, use a piece of cardboard to hold the push pins and paint the head of them to match the pillar cover (I'd suggest letting them dry for a day or two so you don't take a chance of messing up the paint on them).
That's it...
