Anyone having issues with bullets lens covers staying secure? While washing front of bike I bumped the lens cover and it "popped" off. I tried to snap it back in only to discover one of the plastic prongs was cracked and loose,this is the second time this has happened. I used 3 small drops of super glue on the edge of lens to secure the lens back on. I have dynamic ringz leds installed so not worried with replacing plus the glue is just enough to hold the lens in place. Pisses me off this is the second set of lens to do this. And yes super glue fumes will discolor the edge of lens, picking up new lens Saturday..again

Yup,  I had one of my tail light lens fall out on my Street Glide.  Per the Service Manager,  it happens often,  in fact he scrounged two of them for me from the Service bay.....no charge,  so I now have a "spare".

It's been happening since Harley started using those bullet turn signals, thanks to a poor design.  Instead of super glue, I use a tiny thin bead of clear silicone sealant on the top half of each lens.  It holds the lens in place and helps keep water out as well.  Leave the bottom unsealed to allow any water vapor that does get in to escape.  If I need to remove the lens a simple twist peels the sealant loose.

You also can buy replacement lens aftermarket. They are about half or less than OE in cost. I am very picky but CHRIS brand satisfies me. They are sold thru Drag Specialties and other suppliers so any dealer can order them, a quality independent probably has them in stock. Come in all colors and styles. You can check them out in the Drag Big Book online if needed.

Went by dealer today,since I've had issue before they gave one to replace broken and a spare, no charge. They said same thing, bad design and they see at least one broken lens a month. Did do the silicone fix also. Thanks your the response folks!
