Default Issues with Kuryakyn Deep Dish Bezels with Lenses

I really like the look of Kuryakyn Deep Dish Bezels with Lenses on my turn signals. The problem I am having with them is they fall off after awhile. They have three plastic tabs that hold them in and after they've been on a couple to a few weeks, one of the tabs will break and the whole thing falls off. Here is what they look like.

Has anyone else used these and not have the same problem I have or have modified them somehow to not break? The three tabs that hold it to the signal housing are plastic and really thin at one point, which is where it breaks.

I have the led version of those from Kuryakyn on my Sportster. They havent fallen off yet but they kinda spin and rattle. They are not very tight. The few things I have from Kuryakyn havent impressed me much.

How about using a little bit of silicone sealant to hold them in place

Thanks for the replies. I could try the silicone. I really like these covers as the rings are chromed metal and not plastic and I think they really look tons better than the stock full plastic covers. They're around $35 a pair. I've been toying with the idea of somehow re-enforcing the thin part of the plastic tabs. Not sure how to do that.

I have the same exact problem. They do look nice. Think I'll lightly silicone it back in.

Had them on my old lorider. They did move somewhat. A little silicone did the trick.

I'm not expecting much but did email Kuryakyn about the issue, to see if they had any other ideas.

Got a reply from Kuryakyn:
Hello Jeff, thank you for the email. Jeff we have had very few issues with the tabs breaking off on the bezels. I do not have any ideas on re-enforcing the tabs to make them stronger. I bezels do carry a 1 year Kuryakyn warranty from date of purchase which is handled through the place of purchase. Please contact us with any other questions. Thanks, Greg Olson │ Tech Support P: 715-247-5008 x282 │ F: 715-247-5007 gao@kuryakyn.comwww.kuryakyn.com

So I wonder how many times I'll have to return a broken set before they cut me off....lol (and that would only be if I notice it fall off and am able to retrieve it)
