Since I got my finned rear diffuser, it has been popping out on the left hand side at back (opposite to the exhaust)

I've heard people use some kind of sealant to stop it popping out? Is it tigerseal? Or something like that? Can I use any sealant once its in the bracket to stop it coming out?

As after a drive I check on the back and hey ho its out again lol.

Thanks

Mine did this when the clip was worn out put a brand new one on as i did t want a finned diffuser anymore, could use some silicone to keep it in place, it should cone off with force if you ever needed to remove it!

I'm thinking silicone, once the fins are painted then that's it! Its silicone time.

Always annoying after every journey keep checking if its ok, even on journeys
