What sucks is, you pay soo much for them, you would think they would apply a better way to secure them, instead of the crappy tape they put on, I guess they figure once they fly or fall off, you'll come back to buy more.

Which I am, this time no thick double sided 3m. I like the tape that EVO-R uses for the door handles. Its thin so air doesnt get underneath and very sticky. Im surprised those havent flown off.

I used the 3M VHB tape, I believe its a half inch wide, clear in color, very very very sticky, I placed it around the entire outter edge, and a nice long strip in the middle running vertically to the door.

Havent had an issue since.

Lack of driving the Z might be part of why you haven't had an issue

Yeah that looks like the one. Dealer installed mine when I bought my car and I think they used the automotive 3m.

How much of that was even with the B pillars? I don't think you drive it fast enough to have them fall off
