Same here. Ironically it is much easier to take it out than to put it back on. I had mine painted and installed in a shop and the guy had to literally remove the protective shield at the bottom of the car in order to put his hand from the inside to clip it back.

hello all
I am having alot of trouble putting this piece back in. The back is a closed plastic shield so I cannot do anything from the back. I tried pounding it in with a rubber mallet and none of the clips will catch. is there anything else I can do here? how do I epoxy the piece on? there really isn't a flat surface that I can apply the epoxy to. Update: sighs one of the 2 side tabs on the broad end has broken off. there is still one tab left and I am thinking the narrow side clips should hold if caught....

Mine didn't sit flush either after I removed it to plastidip... maybe that's a good thing I can remove it more easily when I need to redo the coating on it...

I did this a while ago. I decided to spray paint them after failing to get a clean wrap.
