[mach schnell]

so a while back I bought the $30 clear side markers and popped the old ones out and the put the new ones in. well, the passenger side one keeps popping out on its own. i've actually had to use a bit of ductape on the 'hinge' points to get it to stay put, but eventually it still works its way loose. in leiu of supergluing the thing to the car and making it that I can never change the bulb again - anyone else have this problem or idea what the hell is going on?

there's no broken pieces (compared it to the two original ones that I removed) and if you're familiar, there is a metal spring-hinge on one end and a plastic hook-like feature on the other end and it should just pop back in with a bit of tension. however, something has gone awry and there's no tension (unless I put the tape on both ends to increase the bulk).

between the damn vibration and now things just popping off I'm really starting to feel like maybe i got duped into buying that new Saturn roadster disguised as a Boxster!
