Default Just got my side strakes installed Pissed!

I decided to pull the car out today, since it was decent out.To get my strakes that i have had from months put on.Took them 3 hours to put them on and they said it was only going to take 1.


Anyways i get home and what do i see the passenger side already falling off.I tried to push it back in but the clip wont stay in.And the hole that they have to drill in the body the back part of the clip does not even want to stay in there.I dont know what im going to do.I dont want to take it back to them thats for sure(Yes it was a honda dealership too)

Anyone know a good way to install these so that there is no chance for them to fall off.

Thanks

Hey Man, One of the reason I didnt get side strakes was b/c of so many people having problems with them falling off. If I were you, I would have the dealership take a look at the strakes once again. Why should you have to pay someone else to fix what the dealership messed up. Any damages that may occur should be paid by them, not you. good luck to ya. Dont be intimidated by the dealership at all.

Yeah, I'd be glad it was done at the dealership. Make them get it right; they are obligated to do so.
