Post #4 - rubber tubing - is a good fix, acts like a compression spring against the two prongs on the pad.
Even better idea, just leave them off altogether and for emergencies carry a couple in the boot tool kit and the bonus, it keeps the dreaded tinworm at bay. |

I used silicon sealant on mine . Still there12 years down the road. I always have carried a piece of roofing tarpaulin in my boot to use if I ever lose one, just to cover the hole up. Stops the water getting in.

Spray any type of rust prevention in the holes guys, you don’t want to end up like this one....

I must confess I began ignoring this thread after my car wouldn't start but now that it's in a slightly better way I've enjoyed reading through all the responses!
