    Has anyone figured out a "cleaner" way to secure these fuse pigtails to the under dash fuse panel?

    Attached is my rig.

    Do they slide out on their own? Mine fit secure enough where they don't need extra support. Been like this for a year with no issues so far. I can try to find the Amazon link if you'd like.

    The low-profile fuses themselves stay in place due to static friction, but the mass distribution of the adapters is such that bumps in the road will allow them to wiggle out, a little at a time.

    Mine have fallen out before. I have considered making cuts in the fuse box cover so it slides over the adapter, and then replacing the cut material with a length of plastic just longer enough than original to wrap over the adapter body and hold it up. Never got around to it though.
