How do the headlight covers mount?

This one claims "only 1 hole to drill" and I've seen others that say no holes need to be drilled. It seems to me that it would take a few holes at least to securely mount these. I don't see an lips or other edges to help hold the cover in place.

 

While I'm not a fan of the way they look (just my opinion on the early Zs), they appeared to make a measurable difference "at speed" on the windtunnel tests hence I'm beginning to consider them.

 

So what am I missing?

they use doublesided tape to connect them. nice to see another colorado z

 

 

Wrong...those use 2 plastic tabs in the back that go in where the adjustment screws for the headlight are. Look closely at the rear side in the picture. They use only 1 metal tab in the front which must be screwed into the headlight bucket. You "could" use double stick tape to hold the metal mounting tab, but it's more than likely to let loose pretty quickly. I remember buying the last set of "clear" ones the guy had and they showed up totally crushed in the box. Thanks, USPS idiots. Those also use a solid gasket, that fits all the way around the cover itself like a rubber band, not the cheap split one that the MSA covers use and fall off.
