Ok I know this is the big boy forum but I have searched a few forums and can't find the answer I am looking for so I figured maybe someone here could help me. I am on my 2nd set of Headlight Covers and the same thing keeps happening. Wind gets in and starts to pull it off. Now I am about 99% sure I put them on right, so has anyone else had this problem and if so does anyone know how to fix it. Last year on my way to Island with Ron (94tbird) the wind snapped it in half leaving half of it still on my car. So if anyone has had this issue and knows how to fix it please help. Thanks.

Mike

the solution is to stop buying cheap headlight covers mike and Tint the plastic with window tint. if your deadset on the covers, Glue them on so they cant move, however the window tint is a MUCH cleaner look in my opinion

I installed 10 large drywalls screws right through the middle and never had a problem after that.

Window tint "is" where it's at. However in some backass states (WI) it's against the law so your left with only the snap on tint so that when the cop pulls you over for that reason you can take'm off. Although I thought the drywall screws were a good idea.
