my rear LUND blackouts wont fall off. The have a lip on the top which goes between the light and the hatch (this is where the velcro is), and a lip on the botoom which goes between the light and the bumper.

What kind do you have?

If you haven't gotten them yet, I would advise you to not get the AVS ( Auto Vent Shade) front blackouts. I got them and there was no way to mount them besides velcroing them to the underside of the hood. It is a very stupid design because wind would come up under the blackouts and pull them right off. I went with the GTS blackouts on the front and their design is so much better.

As for the back blackouts, the AVS are the same way as the LUND. They fit really well and don't wobble any.

yea they did, I'm just saying that is what I got. You might be able to still find some on eBay or something.

I've had my GTS rears on for over a year and never had any trouble with just the velcro holding them on, and I've had it past 100 like... maybe 2 times with them on... they're still there. There really isn't much stress on them back there from wind I don' think, since its sorta in a dead zone. Ever notice after driving your car (air drying!) thats the place that still has water drops the longest?

Now on the front... thats gonna be a whole 'nother ball game. I know Chris (taturbo) put screws in his, well, maybe it was the previous owner come to think of it. It works, but I'd hate drilling into my nosepiece.
