They fall off one at a time you have just got to clean off the old tape and put some decent quality double sided tape back on,they are not as rigid as the landrover version so need well supporting when fitting otherwise they will sag a bit in the middle,(don't ask me how I know)

Land Rover changed the part number about 18 months ago. I struggled to get a set for ages and then was given a new part number by my dealer, who sourced a set in a few days. May be worth a phone call?

Yes I'd did get a email bk from powerful uk this afternoon and they did mention that the Plain black were slightly more flexible than the ones with chrome, so I presume the flexible reply is there technical term for sagging, think I will give main dealer a call tomorrow to just enquire. 2015MY discovery 4 se tech with factory black pack.

This thread reminded me I have a set waiting for a dry enough/warm enough day to fit them.

The Powerfulluk ones are fine - I fitted a set to mine.
I cleaned the panels then used the included cleaning wipes. I applied masking tape to ensure they were going in the right place & straight. I used a heat gun to heat the strip & door panel & started to remove the tape & worked from one end pulling the tape out & pressing on to the door as I progressed. Did the same with the other 3 & they are fine. I wanted plain but they were out of stock & they couldn't tell when they would have stock.
This was the same as I fitted them to my D2 & they were still on when I sold it 5yrs later
