Yeah, there is only really one way to put the clips in so that isnt the problem..

They could be like the clips taht can only be used once and then they never fit rite again, like on alot of the interior pieces...

we will start stocking these then...

If they are $3 a peice I'll be even more careful. If it is $3 for a set of them that's cheap. However, looking at what these cars cost these days $3 a clip isn't really that much.

I thought about trying that as I do notice that the 2 side tabs don't stick out to the sides as much as the front end. Those tabs always seem so fragile that if you try to bend them in the opposite direction they either break or weaken so much they don't hold worth a damn.

I mean that clip I took a picture of last night has been out 4 times now and not a problem.

Maybe a touch of silicon sealer would be the answer for you if you don't want to pay the price to replace the clip.

Andy or Jason, do you know how many people are on the backorder list? haha I finally decided to just order them and have them just pop on my doorstep by surprise.

Here is the updated list of backorders on the tail lights:

11986, 12002, 12008, 12107, 12136, 12280, 12460, 12477, 12519, 12540, 12639, 12725, 12752, 12839, 13501, 13037, 13067, 13098, 13280, 13355, 13457, 13462, 13670, 13692, 13723, 13803.

On an average, the tail lights are still coming in damaged on 2 out of 3 ratio. We still have not gotten our palet of tail lights that we have on order but hopefully it will get here soon to alleviate all the backorders. Until then, we will continue to order tail lights and hope that they dont get to us damaged!

I would appreciate it if the 20+ people in front of me would cancel their order, that would really help me out. Thanks guys, I knew you would understand.

Andy, thanks for the update.
