Clear Corner Problem >.<

ok i bought the OEM clear corners...(jdm..) and everytime i put them in the bumper they pop out, i was wondering if any1 has a permanent way to keep the corners in the bumper so they dont pop put, like super glue for example...but so they can be removed too..

i got them from some infiniti shop for like $25, but the clips arent messed up, the bumper is sorta messed up. Like the sides of the "gap" where u put corners into are sort of filed down, as if someone tried to steal my oem corners or something....ill take pics tommorow i guess, it would make things easier to understand.

thats odd. if theyre authentic nissan parts then they should fit exactly like your oem amber corners. 25 bucks sounds cheap, chad doesnt even sell them that cheap...so they came in the nissan box and with japanese instructions, etc?

mastarip, I have that problem too. I know exactly what you're talking about. The new clearcorners fit in fine, but they're not a 100% fit. It's not the clearcorners, they just aren't SNUG, meaning you can push them in about 1/4 inch more when you press on them. I don't know how to fix this.

the brass clip that expands to hold it in needs to be adjusted...pull the clip out a little and it will grab better

With mine, I had to remove the clips from the stock corners and place them in the new corners. After I did that, it stayed in fine.
