Rear Blinkers Falling Off? (OEM, US Model)

They will do this often and continually. Replace them or get used to popping them back in. I used to get so pissed off with that, because they just got worse over time and eventually the little plastic tab that is on the inside ripped out of the rubber loops, so they started falling all the way out and dangling by the wire.
I decided to do away with them and make my own signaling solution with some LED Bolt lights. They are ridiculously bright and I've got 3 on each side in the rear and three on each side in the front. That said, my high mount pipe fairly blocks the side-facing rear lights. 😑

You could. 

 

I used them up front for their multi-angle viewing for cars viewing me from the sides as well as directly in front so they would know my turning intentions.

 

In the rear I opted for a more intense direct view from the back to prevent being rear-ended.
