Hey all,
Do the foglight lenses have a tendency to pop out/off? I've noticed that the foglight covers pop out semi-regularly on mine, although the parking lot at work has a ridiculous number of speedbumps/bott dots, etc (At one four way intersection in the lot, there are 16 traffic signs up. I'm not kidding; it looks like one of those nightmare driving test scenarios you see in B-grade comedy flicks....). Usually the inboard tab pops out, and leaves the cover looking like an airscoop; I'm lucky I haven't lost one yet. I've just popped them back in so far, but it seems there ought to be a better solution. Maybe something that screws in... Just wondering if I'm the only seeing this, and perhaps if there's a solution that's already out there.

It's a pretty common problem. I think most people either keep a sully of them or take them out completely.

I lose several per year - I'm pretty close to just getting some sort of ducting kit for my brakes and being done with it.

Unfortunately, despite the logic of using the holes for brake ducting, someone found out that the holes are not in a high pressure area and flow very little.

Wouldn't a bit of silicone seal on the tabs keep everything together?

Mine have never come out on their own and are somewhat a pain in the rear to
take out when I do want them out.

I also have a lens that is loose. I have taken a plastic toothpick, discarded 2/3 of it and then used the short plastic toothpick as a wedge on the loose tab and it has held since.
