Unhappy Ghosts outside the machine

So I come out the other morning to find my side blinker hanging out... all wiring intact, no signs of forced exit. Can't imagine that the freezing temps would somehow push it out - so is this a subtle hint from some diligent neighbour that I should use it more often when weaving..?

Is one side of the retaining clips broken? In extremely cold weather plastic can become brittle.

Thats what I was going to say...

isn't that what happened to Bill's on that last meet/drive?

Is the sidemarker an oem one or an aftermarket one?

Oh yea, I forgot about Bill's...

I've been through a few sets myself whenever I detail the car. Try to remove it to clean thoroughly and *snap*.
