Taillight Guard Installation: Questions
Situation: After extensive market research, I bought WAAG taillight guards. One reason was I'd gotten the impression WAAG involved 'no-drill' installation. On opening the box I found 2 surprises. First, I'm supposed to drill and use tapping screws (inside the tailgate jamb) to mount the guards. Second, there's a moveable / pivoting little bitty arm on one of each guard's horizontal grills. Its end is a rectangular pad with adhesive, which is supposed to be stuck to the taillight lens. So here are my questions:
- Are there any taillight guards that are _really_ 'no-drill'?
- If so, what brand(s)?
- Anyone willing to hazard a guess whether I can avoid sticking the guard arm / pad to the taillight lens? (I'm wondering if I can simply stick cut-to-fit rubber onto the adhesive and just let it sit against the lens like a bumper).
I still like the WAAG's better than the others I've checked on. However, I might consider switching if I can avoid drilling and glueing the guard to my lenses.
