Default Right side blinker!

For reason unknown to me, the right side blinker is poping out a bit at speeds 90+mph. I constantly have to pop it back in, and even then, its not a perfect fit.
I took it out, there is nothing broken, fender is fine and all the mounting poin ts are fine too. I also noticed that some of the 98-2000 LS 400's have the same problem! Not a perfect fit.
Am I missing something?? Car is 98.

Yup your blinkers and all lighting are going to be secured via screw/bolt or some such hardware. No lighting piece just 'pops' in. See if the screw is in it, missing, and if the hole and threads stripped/cracked etc.

I k ow the screw is there. And its tight, its the bottom part that is piping out, half an nch to so. So since there is no screw on the bottom part of the light, it pops out sometimes.

My turn signals do the same thing on my car and my friends , it is because hte bumper is flexing and one of the headlight brackets are broken so it pops out.
I used a bit of velcro in the headlights to keep them in place and it has not happened since.
