The fit of the alien eyes is abysmal. This is one place where the cost cutting on the Boxster really shows. A drop or two of adhesive will stop the rattle and/or keep them from falling out (which is what mine did over every big bump).

The most common reason to remove the alien eyes is to get to the screws that hold the cover in place so you can replace the top microswitch. Best to use something that will allow future removal (the next owner will thank you instead of curse you) and keep the amount to a minimum.
