I think ACI has them for about 60 bucks or so. PN acg 070 if I remember right. They look like they just snap in. I may have to get some too. Maybe a GP by necessity in the making here?

Yes they do work! They are from ACI and just snap into place. Be sure that you use a sealant to ensure that they stay put (just sand both surfaces a little and put a couple of beads of sealant on). No more saggy fascia!! :D

No sealant or sanding is necessary. They are a TIGHT fit. Ain't gonna move or pop out EVER! Trust me....

I live in a warm climate and when the fascia gets warm they can come out. I am just telling you what it specifically says in their installation instructions...
