Default Turn Signal

My turn signal on the front right bumper keeps sliding out and popping out of place. Does it when I drive on the HWY. I pop it back in and slide it forward, but it pops out constantly.
Any suggestions on what might be wrong or how to fix it?

Sounds like you're missing the end clip that keeps it in place. New one will set you back approx 45 bucks

There is, or should be, a metal spring clip at one end of
the turn singal lens. Try gently beinding it out to put more
tension on the lens to hold it in. Maybe that will help?

What would REALLLLLLLLY be great is if a vendor would manufacture a set of crystal clear front bumper and rear bumper lenses to get away from the amber and red. I heard long ago a fable of a company making them (clearcorners.com or something close to that) but if I remember correctly they were wanting an astronomical price like $600.00USD for the set???? I remember back around 2001-2003 a company that makes alot of, ummm, how do I put this gently, RICER parts for hondas and what not. Would take your set or a spare set you had laying around of lenses, and create a custom set for "i think 250.00" but the cool part was if you had 20 people that were willing to pre-pay what ever they decided to charge for them (usually less than 150.00) they would put them into production. I had a 92 toyota celica that they didn't make front markers for so the forum i belonged to contacted them and we got them to make them and with 20 peoples pre-order the lenses were 59.00 (set) that was great they wanted 399.00 for the rather large tail light assemblies though :-( we couldnt get enough people that were willing to pay that for them so I have reason to believe that could be the reason that they STILL don't produce clear tail lights for the 90-93 toyota celica. Just a thought maybe a mod or site admin could try to contact APC and see if they still have that program.
