Try using the boolean mode... something like "clear AND corners AND stolen AND prevent"

Clear Corner Theft....?

There was a post a few years ago because someone else was having the same problem. It required "carefully" drilling a smell hole in one edge of the
plastic so it be screwed into the edge of the fender. Not a big screw but
large enough to secure the sides from being removed with ease....try it!

HAHA Correction, that should be a small hole......not smell hole.
WTF and I always read my posts....

if you put some 7 week old tuna in the "smell" hole, the crooks run and hide like frightened little girls. It really works!

I figured if you bolt it down, they would damage your car trying to force it out... So when mine got stolen, I just wired my next set to the alarm, so if they pull the lense out, the 139db air-horn goes off.

WOW 200 to get it fixed? I went to my dealership and the parts dude just gave me a new socket he ripped out from a pile in the garage. all i had to do was re-solder the wire, wrap it with heath shrink tube and called it a day.. I wouldn't pay 200 for a new harness clip..

Heres my b4 and after


Good as new~!
