Front Light Guard Tabs Breaking
Has anybody noticed this on theirs. I have 2 tabs that have broken on the O/S Xenon. They have'nt been touched or bashed and the last tab looks like its gonna break soon too. These tabs hook under the grill and hold the light guard in place, but mine wont for much longer I guess.
I am sure they are covered by 12 Month warranty, but can I just get the ONE

Yep, I got a tab broken on one.
Not sufficiently engineered methinks....... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Bad design TBH, I guess the cold has made them brittle

No probs with mine AND they were second hand from chris200100 (not seen him in ages)
I wonder whether the fact that the clips (and grill holding them) were pretty much hidden behind the A-Bar helps
No thats b***ocks - all I can think off is that mine were not stressed or stretched in any way when fitted
