Sidemarker not staying in!!
HI there everyone. I started having an issue with one of the side markers (the driver's side) not staying in place. It started yesterday and every time I try to put it back in it pops right out. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated because that thing is annoying.

Thanks.

i dont think the problem is the car. It has to be the metal clip in the sidemarker. U could always buy new ones for 20 bucks on ebay

I was thinking about doing that. Just buying new ones. The crazy thing is that it slides out from the rear of the side marker not from the clip area. Has anyone experienced this? I do have the aero kit on in case it makes any difference. Thanks.

No...the entire side marker pops out on its own.
