Default Sidestrake keeps falling off? prevention ideas?

Just a little while ago my side strake fell off again. This is the third time my passenger side has fallen off and i am lucky enough to not have to replace it.

Has anyone had anyluck with a certain technique to re attach this?

Is this oem or a replica? I would use 3M moulding tape to hold it against the body. Maybe a screw or two into the side and underneath the strake.

Honestly i shaved mine off. didn't want to lose my 2nd pair.

But when I did install my 2nd set I got rid of ALL the OEM hardwear and just used 3M outdoor double sided tape and it was on there GOOD. when I took them off I thought I was gonna break them off.
