Angry reds and clears

So last night I open my box from Suncoast with my red tail lights and clear side markers. I install the reds and am happy with the quality and workmanship. Would expect nothin less from germany. I pull my amber sides.....no problem. I install the clears. WTF. Rattling like a biatch. Adjust the clips 96000 times. Still rattling. anyone have the same problem? If so, how do you tighten them up? Thanks guys

I installed the clear side mirrors last month and had no rattling what so ever. Is it one side or both?

Just ask Suncoast to replace them...they're a reputable vendor.

If the clips are bent when installing, it is hard to keep them from rattling..my friend had the same problem awhile back, he just returned them to dealer and got replacements..
