Corners clips broke

My clear corners clips broke as I was trying to take it out (yes cheap ****) so now theres nothing to really hold it in place. Whats something I can use as an alternative other than gluing it in and hoping the bulbs dont go out

Did they break, or did they slide out? I thought I had broke one of my clips this last winter but all I did was slide the clip out of it's holder on the back of the clear corner. If the metal Bracket is still in one piece, and nothing is shredded on the back of the clear corner, then you may be able to just slide it back in snuggly and it can still work. Just a shot in the dark since I had the same thing happen to me.

well i've heard of people taking short wood screws and drilling through the fender liner and into the back of the clear corners to prevent them from flying out and people stealing them. just a thought

Haha if theres one thing i dont have to worry about, is them flying out. They're so tight and barely fit (which is why the clip broke when i tried to pull it out).
