Angry Ebay clear corners sucK! Where can I find ones that fit?

I tried to put on my ebay bought clear corners today and they are junk! They were incredibly loose, and the gaps were so spacious between the car and the clear corner that there was no way to seal it with silicon. Has anyone found any that fit somewhat nicely the first time? Should I just get the side marker covers from Steve (in the Netherlands)? Would I be hastled by the cops? Thanks guys!

if i were you, i would install the side markers you just got and heat them with either a heat gun or blow dryer. after the plastic has heated up, just push in the spots that don't fit tight. after this is done, you will have ones that fit perfectly with no gaps at all. its very easy to make them work.

I would, but the clips still don't hold them in nearly tight enough, so that's not a very good optionl

Yeah, my only concern is with cops, does anyone have any pics of them? And I'd almost rather have the lights, who knows it just may catch someones eye close to hitting me.

Hey, if u wrap the little tabs on the back with some duct tape they fit fine. Mine were all fallin out and lookinglike crap.

I know duct tape doesnt sound good, but works perfectly. Just wrap all the loose mating surfaces. so far through all the snow storms and car washes they are still perfectly tight.
