mirror guards

[POH]

has anyone had this happen to them , had these on for nearly 4 years now , put silver screens on during the last couple of weeks folded the arms in to stop the screens flapping went to remove them yesterday and the guards came off in my hands, it looks like the sticky pads have lost the sticky stuff when you touch the pads they are just about tacky so looks like some stikall is needed or maybe some different guards ??

Double sided pads are unsuitable. The covers are easy to steal or fall off. I sell a type of mirror covers with a clip that has to be unscrewed to remove, far more reliable. I've never had a customer loose one and mine have been on for 7 years+
