Helix sidemarker
 
1 Attachment(s)
Does anyone know why this sidemarker doesn't want to sit flush? The drivers side went on perfectly, but this passenger side marker doesn't want to sit flush... It's clipped in good and doesn't pop out, but it just doesn't sit flush. The paint even chipped off my bumper :(

Have you pushed (and I do mean really pushed) until you've heard the loud click?

If yes, I'd reinstall. Make sure the bottom clips go in first.

I've pushed on it pretty hard but never heard a click... I'll try take it apart again and take a look at the bracket that clip A goes in.

Bumper sag?

Nope no bumper sag. It's just the side marker not wanting to sit flush with bumper and fender.

One of mine does that same thing just like in your picture on the right side of my car. I quit caring about it eventually.

Likely not clicking in all the way which eventually means it will fall out. My videos might help.

Don't buy aftermarket junk, problem solved.

i installed new side markers on mine and the right side sticks out like that too just like my old Helix sidemarkers. same side again and i noticed my bumper is sagging quite a bit

8RZ 01-06-2017 12:02 PM

Yep, same issue here; right side doesn't sit flush like the left one does.

I swapped out the top clip that came with the side markers and used the oem clip from the original side markers and so far it's worked for me

Why not buy European OEM side markers? They're clear and sit nice and snug..
