Default saph jack point covers

how do you keep them falling off..

i drove over a wheel trim on a roundabout..no way to avoid it as was in the inside lane..

heard the clunk and thought AHH A BITS FELL OFF AGAIN

so parked up in a side road .had a look yes jack cover missing

ran back to the rab..and it was on the edge of the road intact

im thinking as doji said drill them small hole then use fishing wire

or just glue the pesky things on as i havent used a ford original jack in 10 years

i always carry a trolley jack in the boot ..and a big socket set its a ford thing

what would you do..as i still have the 4 colour coded

if they have the retaining leads on them they shouldn't fall off in the first palce

also make sure that the skirt is actually capable of holding them in place as sometimes it can flex if the mounts aer a bit poo
