2. Am I correct in thinking that the new indicators have clips that will clip in? In the OP's opening post, it does appear as though there are 3 metal clips there.

So I'm assuming that between these 3 clips and the 3M adhesive, it's enough to hold the indicator in place....?

Thanks
Dave
Hi Dave, yes it holds quite well. I just wiped the paint with alcohol to remove any dirt and grease. The adhesive is plenty strong.
