clear corners

by **redkysolarase** » Thu Apr 29, 2004 2:23 pm

I just put my clear corners on my car and the passenger side one isn't flush with the body. If it wasn't really bad I wouldn't worry about it too much but it's really sticking out there. I tried to tighten the bolt as tight as it would go and pushing on the darn thing while doing so but to no avale. You guys have any ideas on how I could get that thing pushed in a bit. Thanks a million. Bryan

Ive had two sets, and the second one's driver side fit a little funky but I fixed it with some pushing. It wasnt much off for mine, but it sounds pretty bad for yours. Since the aftermarket corners are so cheap (in price and quality), its probably just a consequence of poor quality control. As far as a fix, if a little elbow grease didnt fix it, im not sure what else you could do...

use a file to file down anything in the way... besides its plastic and on the inside... so no one will see what you did

I had problems with my clear corners as well and I have a gen 1. The problem with mine was not the fitment, however the weather stripping/molding on it kept coming off.

I remember right the when c/corners first came out some of the sc3 dudes actually widened the screw holes...i know when i bought my old one's i has to do the same...but then...when i bought the euro corners...they were flush!

Thanks for the replies guys. I kept on fooling around with the stupid thing and I got it pushed in. I believe something was holding it back to make it not fit flush. Now it's perfectly fine

. I have another question about them for you guys that have them. What kinda bulbs do you use? Amber ones, clear? What brand? Are there some Sylvania Silverstars for our park lights? If so that's what I want where I have them for my headlights and fog lights to match. Thanks. Bryan

i had the OEM bulbs but I switched to silverstars they look pretty cool but pricey. I believe you could get a better through procarparts.com (only like 8 bucksish)

Thanks Steve. I'll look them up and get some.

I currently have APC titan's on mine...Next time i'm gonna go the the silverstars route (APC's are still for off-road use only SURE:lol: - s/stars are legal).

EDIT: I meant go silverstarts for the corner bulbs...my head+ fog are s/star...i was refering to Slyvania's new silverstar bulbs that are chrome and emit amber light and ARE LEGAL...:WOOT:

I have APC titans and the silverstars, with both kinds of clears. Go to my WWW to check it out.

I dont have a pic with the silverstars with the non-euro clears though. The bulb looks almost like a typical blue bulb
