On a standard car they just clip into place. On the omega they dont have the rubber rim to clip into, so think they have to be stuck on in some way... having the same problem myself you see :lol:

Indeed Mark, only "the old people", usually with flat caps, had these when they were "unfashionable" in the 1960s to 1970s on Minor Minors, a few Ford Cortina's Mk1 & 2's, Allegro's and Marina's and I as a youngster took the pxxs out of them, and still would! :o :o :o ::) ::) ::)

they are good for smoking as it stops the fag/rollie going out if you flick the ash out the window!

Most shoguns ive seen have them fitted

they dont glue on, they can be fitted by using the thin double sided trim tape similar to what hold your door mouldings on, comes in various thicknesses.  :y
