Sidemarkers come off while driving

Just accelerated pretty fast and went all the way till about 106.
When I got out of my car one of my sidemarkers was hanging out. I know they are fairly easy to snap out and back in but is there any way of securing them further so this doesn't happen?

When I hit 100 I usually lose my exhaust. Check your clips.

Try bending the metal clips so they stay in. I use cotter pins in the back so they can't be easily stolen, they would also prevent them from falling out.

Are you guys talking about clips for the exhaust or for the sidemarkers?

Well, nobody would try stealing an exhaust because of it being EASY. Nor would the exhaust just "fall out" of anything. Not to mention there are no metal clips on the exhaust so.....

yea lol I was confused. I just checked if there were tips on my exhaust that could come off or something. I got you now. I bent the clips in so they stay better.

What are you trying to prove driving that fast?

Your side markers have clips, carefully bend them so they make better contact. You could also use 3M double sided adhesive (autoparts stores) to insure they're secure!
