Default Slimline weather-shields already coming off.

I've had them installed about 10 months ago and they have already started to detach from the bottom.
Poor adhesive? What's a nice fix? Was going to take my car to auto car wash but now having second thoughts after seeing this issue.

This was an issue back in 2016 when they were cancelled from an accessory option due to the same issue.i ordered mine and didn't come fitted and after hearing the ongoing issues with them I got a refund.

Replace the old tape with quality 3M Automotive tape, and you won't have a problem.

We recently had strong winds and they stayed on so I'll count myself lucky. I'll look into the 3M tape, I've used tape like that before for mirror covers.
