They are really not held in too securely, just a couple of tabs on each end, so doesn't seem to take much to distort the bumper enough to shock them off.

Humorous. Another member literally pm'd me yesterday about this thread as his had popped off.

Anyhow, the second time around the dealer used some double sided 3M tape to ensure it didn't fall off. Not an elegant solution but can't be seen and hasn't fallen off since.
