Black side gills tape not holding

I guess the thin strip of double sided tape isn't holding. Not sure how to secure it better without removing them-- don't want to break the tabs.

Any thoughts anyone?

Are you sure yours have the tabs and not just the one post? My black replacements just had the post, and I added quite a bit of the 3M Extreme outdoor double sided mounting tape to what came on them from RG Sport.

Maybe. Got mine from RG as well.

There would be holes in the body on the F85 if you remove them. Not the case on the F15.

Get the 3M VHB tape.
That's what I put on to all of the Fender Trim that is bought from me.
But also clean up the fender from any oil or dirt to let it stick very good.
