I notice it a little bit on bigger bumps. It's only once been annoying and that was a long ride around LA freeways. On my usual drives, hardly notice it. A few areas where the road has a dip, it's...

Not sure you need to worry about the 3M stuff. I got mine awhile back whenever I redid my left side light and gaskets and it is still fine. I'll take a close look tomorrow and post a pic.
