Corner lamps popping out at bottom

Anyone have a problem with the corner lamps popping out at the bottom when hitting bumps?? Its only held in by one screw on top, and a "push-in-plug" on the bottom. Thing is, that plastic that holds in that plug seems really weak. I doubt a replacement will help. Everyday I have to push the bottom back in. Im in NYC so potholes are EVERYWHERE

Anyone know of a fix?

Use some 3M double sided tape. That should fix it.

I used a dab of liquid nails (Home Depot) on the post to hold mine to the bumper. Takes a bit more effort to get them back off to change the bulbs, but better than watching them bounce past your car on the interstate.

What is this "post" your talking about? Sounds like your talking about the clear corners... Im speaking of the corner lamps next to the headlamps......

If you ARE talking about those...sorry..Im tired....but still what is this 'post'?

If you guys bought your diamond cuts from custom maxima, just use the replacement plastic screw/plug that comes with their kit. I've had my corners installed for about a month now and NO problems. If you didn't order from them, just use a washer to secure the corner piece.
