does any body have a good way to help keep the headlight covers on when the headlights are up?

?????????????

Don't understand the question?

What are you refering to as "headlight covers" ? IF you mean the headlight adjuster plugs on the sides, use silicone adhesive.

WOW, I wasn't expecting that. I have no idea, I would guess that there are elastic straps to secure them?

Is this for the Covercraft bra that covers half of the hood? If so, forget it. Last time they came loose was at night (of course) on the side of a downhill stretch of interstate highway, trying to remove them the rest of the way before they flew off and were totally gone, while 18 wheelers were blasting by at 80+ mph. Never put them on again. I still have the complete deal in the box if anyone is interested in buying it from me. Only used the bra once and the headlight covers twice. Cheap!

too bad I didn't talk to you before I got this bra.
the headlight covers have elastic and an almost useless hook at the back that helps keep them on when the lights aren't up, and loose and able to catch air when up.
I recently went stealth, and when I put the lights up, "Bing" we had a parasail going strong.
I got to Reno, and ty-wrapped them on, only to have the flutter on the headlight's upper surface paint and had to pull over, take off the bra, open the hood, cut the ty-wraps off, remove the covers, close the hood and install the bra. all at 5:30 in the morning at some Mc Donald's that wasn't even open yet, raining and high winds to boot.

when the lights are down, they stay pretty well.
