I got a much longer one, cut the chrome mounting tabs off so it was now just a strap and stapled the crap out of it from underneath with some short staples and not near the edges so they do not poke through and also used some adhesive silicone, I am no weak little sister and I pulled on it pretty darn hard and it stayed on fine.
