Default Rear GTS Reflector strip

Anyone here had luck getting the reflector strip on the rear bumper cover to lay flat? What's the solution?

Thanks,
Tom

I would love to hear about that, too. My GTS reflector strip is warped.

I think sometimes its the way it mounted that makes them look "womped" I noticed sometimes on the 95 that it looks like its not laying flat. Could be wrong though.

Chuck,
I have tried a number of fixes - suffice to say non has worked. I tried to reform using heat, added extra strong industrial grade velcro and eventually broke the dam thing with my efforts.
Bought a new one from 928int for $120 and it is identical to the original. Decided to be satisfied with as is.
If you come up with something I would be pleased to know as well.

Yes, just remove the tail lights on both sides and it then held in place by three pieces of plastic velco.
