People with clears..I have a prob

On my 99 max the part of the clear corner not screwed on is coming off while driving after a certain speed...does anyone have any ideas? Steve told me to use hot glue while others said tape, and other ideas?

the little white plastic thing that holds it into the bumper came off with it. pull it of the lense and put it back in the bumper and you'll be straight. same thing happened to me when i got my clears.

You can either bolt it in from the back or use a washer to make the plastic snap tighter. Mine used to fall off as well. I put a tight washer on the plastic snap which held it together tighter. The lense hasn't fallen out in 2 years now.

You can start with the bra, mug flaps and wind deflector.

Do what njmaxseltd suggested.

I bolted mine in from the back and you can't get my clears off if you tried to

If you want to secure it without screwing it in just put a little electrical tape around the nipple. Thats what I did.

i just bolted mine in from the back, with washers on both sides of the body.
it wasn't easy to find a screw that fit into the sidemarker though, i just put the closest thing i could find at home depot.
