Question Who here has had their clear corners stolen?

I want to get a set of clear corners. However, after seeing how easy they are to pop out, I'm aprehensive. Has anyone ever had theirs stolen? Is there a way to better secure them on there without flat out gluing them on? After reading that guys post about how his wheels got jacked in his own driveway (sorry bro) I'm convinced a set of clear corners wouldn't even make it through the night!!!

Oh, and for everyone out there that is going to flame me for wanting these, my coupe is Diamond Graphite and I think the clears blend in really nicely with the paint job and smooth out the side a little better.

Thanks everyone!

No one that wants to get flammed themselves is going to give you anything but (Thumbs Up) for Clear Corners.

I've heard many talk about theirs getting stolen, and they are quite easy to take out. I take mine out when cleaning and waxing the car. Not everytime, but once every 3-6 months, b/c dirt and grim build up underneath them. Just a neat freak I guess...

You would NOT want to glue them, or at least I wouldn't recommend it, b/c what are you going to do when the bulb needs replacing? Think about it. LOL


If I lived in a area where the car was left outside in the open and you were that worried about it, just grab them out at night. This is going a little too far in my book, but what else can you do?

Even if you had an alarm system sensitive enough to go off when someone was messing with them, who really pays attention to car alarms anymore. Most people just ignore them these days...

I would say it depends on the area you live in...if the car is pretty safe and you for the most part don't take it to movies/shopping malls, etc. you should be fine.
I bought a Accord to do all that other stuff with...the G is purely for cruises on nice days or driving it to a nice resturant or something.

I have seen many different makes of clear corners. Is one better than the other? Do certain ones fit better?

just drill a 1/4" hole in back of the clear corners and stick a paper clip in the back place of the hole. thats what i did. and its impossible to take out unless you have time to take off the lining.
