Head down to Home Depot with the black screws and buy a couple of sets of far thicker screws and it won't fall off in your garage when you graze it with your knee (which is what happened to me).

I gave up on it after the second time it fell off. The whole assembly is in my toolbox.

Hi Randall, The same thing happened to me and besides adding thicker screws i also added some good quality silicone ( GOOP OR GE II 100%) around the square shields before inserting them into the bumper and also put some silicone between the 2 spacers and bumper. The important thing to do before adding silicone is to clean with dish washing soap first, and if ever u decide to remove the plate, silicone can easily be pealed off nicely but solid enough to hold the plate in place.
