Default Mounting front tweeters

I am upgrading my speakers front and rear with polks. I'm wondering how others have mounted the tweeters in the factory A pillar location. I'm considering using the factory mounting bracket and hot glueing it in place or use the Polk mounting bezel and screw it in place somewhere and hope I have the clearance I need. Any thoughts?

I used the factory brackets. My tweeters came with double sided tape. Be forewarned to do a test fit with the tweeter covers before applying hot glue/double sided tape.

What tweeters are you running? And how is the double sided tape holding up?

^^ most likely not that sturdy especially on hot days, I hot glued my speakers on my other car. I'm interested how you GS guys mounted your tweeters, cuz the stock grill most likely won't fit higher end, larger tweeters.

I ended up using double sided tape normally used for automotive trim. The tape was very strong bonding to the bracket and the tweeter.
