Default Anyone have a hard time putting on AeroTect Smoked taillights?

i decided to put on my smoked taillights today but i had the hardest time with the outer lenses. I couldn't get the triangular piece on correctly, and then i had the hardest time with the strip that goes on top. Then at the very top corner of each taillight, there is a small section that isn't fully covered. Anyone else have this problem? If they are stuck on now, how would i fix it?

I too had a hard time attempting to install them. Actually, I ruined a piece and just gave up and took my car to aerotect. I reccomend you take your car to get them professionally installed.

i've already put them on though. Would taking them off and trying a reinstallation mess up the adhesive?

sounds like a plan. Anyone had it done at at clear bra installation center? How much do they charge? i guess i'll have to cough up another $70 for new overlays.
