Default Loose side marker

So I searched the forum but it seem noone had the same problem.

I installed new clear side markers yesterday and everything was fine. After I checked to see if they were solid and while trying to move one that pretty well in place I loose it up. It seems that the gap between the clip and the light is too big hence the fender fints in between.

I revomed them and saw that nothing was broken.

Would anyone of you guys have any tips on how I could tight them up a bit ? I was thinking putting some sort of filling to tighten up the whole but I don't think it will work.

Thanks

i really find it hard to beleive that sidemarkers didn't fit right w/o something being broken or mis-made. I'd send them back, and request new ones. The ones i ordered fit perfectly, and don't know how they could be lose. what year is yours/

in most cases they are bonded with double sided tape if there is no where to put a screw in, im sure the dealer has come across this problem many times and should be able to get some for you but its simple enough to buy some and make one up, double sided tape

You are the man !! Why didn't I think of this earlier :P This will solve the problem for sure thanks man.


Also in respond to the other it's not SUPER loose just a bit , I sort force a little to see how tight they were and I must have forced to much nothing broke though.


thanks again all
