IT popped off the door.

Anyone had this problems and how do I get it to stay?

I would assume that if it has come off before then some of the clips are broken, which happens easily if they are incorrectly removed or refitted. Mine were loose when I purchased the Zed due to broken clips and as they were slightly scratched invested a few £'s in new ones.

Check carefully but it should have one clip at the lower edge that locks into a slot in the handle, then a series of moulded clips all the way to the top on each side that clip in. Once locked there is no way it will come out unless damaged.

Yep, clips broken and it looks like either the stealer or previous owner used an adhesive to keep it on.

At least it lasted 18 months after I got it.
