freakin rear tail light guards....
 

I hate them. I love the looks, but the double sided tape sucks. Anyone have any other, or better vesions that were built than the factory POS...:lame:

Re: freakin rear tail light guards....
 

:iagree: My factory covers SUCKED! If you want to keep them i think you can carefully drill holes in them and screw them into the places were the tape was supposed to secure them. Personally, I sold my factory guards and bought the defenderworks product instead. I installed them just like the factory guards were because they are so much sturdier that I felt I didn't need to drill them.

Where can I get them at a good price?

Re: freakin rear tail light guards....
 

You need to go to Real Wheels where they do screw in.

Real Wheels looks like eactly what I have, but smaller......... and 357 dollars.....

Re: freakin rear tail light guards....
 

Are you cleaning the surface before applying the double back tape? Also, there may be some one trying to rip them off. Price is an issue with Real Wheels. I live 8 miles from their store and I got some of their products thru other dealers in CA & NH for 20 & 30 % off including shipping. The "fisherman"

My tail light guards...

Re: freakin rear tail light guards....
 

Yeah, I prepped with alchohol... But they just dont feel tough.. On hit with a branch could move them, and then I close the gate on one... that would suck:rant:

Re: freakin rear tail light guards....
 

I was considering getting some of the guards on down the road, however I didn't know that they were only held on with 3M tape...WTF!

Re: freakin rear tail light guards....
 

I still cannot find the defender works ones!:crying:

Re: freakin rear tail light guards....
 

try 3m molding and emblem double sided tape,its a dark gray color tape.you can hang from something thats held on with that.

Re: freakin rear tail light guards....
 

Thats what I used... It seemed OK on the bottom, but the top would come unstuck on each side.....

They are off the truck and going up for sale....:popcorn:

Re: freakin rear tail light guards....
 

Mine are OEM and screwed on both sides. No tape on mine.:)

Re: freakin rear tail light guards....
 

Mine are factory OEM and screwed on also. That was March 2006 date of manufacture. Earlier ones Taped or aftermarket?

Re: freakin rear tail light guards....
 

Mine say hummer on the bottom and use the two light bolts to hold one side, and double sided tape to hold the other...

Re: freakin rear tail light guards....
 

Picture please

Re: freakin rear tail light guards....
 

Yeah the new ones are screwed in both sides. I just put some on mine in March.

Re: freakin rear tail light guards....
 

Do you drill the body? or do they wrap around the light?
