I just noticed that one of mine looked slightly "out of place" and on checking it was pretty loose, only really held by a flimsy part-broken lug at the outer edge with the inner end just waving about!
 Taking it out I can see how the catches are "supposed" to hold them reasonably firmly, but they just don't seem to. I guess over time the lower bumper gets affair bit of bashing and distorts somewhat. Reading all the various suggestions in this thread, is a good (black) cable tie at the top towards the inner end really adequate? Or are there better methods? (This is the late FL one-piece type)
