Default Recieved Foglight Screens

I recieved the Foglight Screens last night, however these are not the OEM with area to put double sided tape.
They are just wire mesh with what appears to be a rubber border.
The look, when installed will probally be the same.

Problem is direction say "push in till it stops." I think these could easily fall out on the freeway. I didn't realize they were different until i recieved them. (Ebay)
Did anyone else ever try these & how did you make them stay in place?

Sounds like you got scammed ,I would not push them in until they stop. One thing I will say is are you sure that they are for the fog light area. What you are descibing sounds alot like the screens for the front brake duct screens that go in the small opening under the fog light area.

Are they about 18" long or about 8"?
How much did they cost?

I bought a set of those once, took one look at them and returned them to the seller for a refund. Just gutter mesh toppers surrounded by door edge trim
