Loose side wing reflectors
 
I have replaced the orange side wing reflectors and side repeaters on my 2002WRX with crystal products. Problem is the side wing reflectors are much looser than the original ones and wobble about a bit once fitted.

Anyone know how to solve the problem or make them fit better??

Thanks in advance :o)

Could use a little silicone to hold them

I had exactly the same problem. I sent them back in the end and have ordered an alternative.

Anyway, before deciding to send them back I did manage to improve the fit using insulator tape. If you build up layers and then cut small triangles you can position these on the back of the side markers so that they effectively plug the gap causing the loose fit. It's a bit fiddly and I know using tape is hardly a high quality solution, but it worked for me.
