My wife's 2012 Charger Srt-8 had this problem. The flimsy black honeycomb insert started to warp in the sun, and all the clips broke off. Luckily I noticed before it came flying out and scratched up the car.

The dealer installed a new one, but this one is starting to do it also.

Well the honeycomb part in it is alright. The whole insert part flew out. It wasn't warping or anything, I guess it just got brittle and broke. I was so thankful that it landed in a median instead of in traffic. This stupid thing is 250 bucks without paint.

Update. I cruised around on the freeway at about 70. Good thing was that it didn't come off haha. I drove for about 10 minutes.

Last time it ripped off at about 55. So I know I did something right. Haha

How is your repair holding up? I've noticed mine is loose and popping up a little in the front (side closer to the front of truck).
