Is yours hard plastic or rubber?
The first time I found it had fell off, I thought I had found the pen I lost a couple of months ago! The disappointment…

Formed rubber. At least that’s what it feels like.

Mine too, I tried a couple of different pens too. So the one that came on mine is definitely shite.

Maybe using the free pen from my Credit Union was a good thing after all. It’s neon orange and black and seems to fit just fine. I should point out that I’ve had my Sport for 14 months and only discovered the pen holder last week, when it was brought up here. I’ll let you know how well it holds after a longer trial period. ?

Yes
Well that is the handiest thing I never knew existed! Just added to my Amazon cart. Thanks for posting this!Not done today, but I installed the covers on the rear window defrost wires on Monday. I received my step yesterday. Now I can reach and take care of the roof. Comes with a nice storage bag, too.
I don’t mind the way they look, and I will take every little MPG advantage they may give, but they seem to be begging to be ripped up/off if I ever pull up over a high curb or wheel stop.
Oh yeah! I ended up taking mine off earlier this week. I took before pics and never took an after one.
The rear ones were a little harder to get off since my ratchet didn't fit and I couldn't find my 7mm wrench. Had to use an adjustable one.
I feel responsible for starting the pen holder bull rush... 
I've never had the pen fall. I had a metal/steel tire gauge in there and gravity won regularly. I think if you try to put a regular Bic ball point there, it will be a bit thin and fall. You need something a tad thicker like a Pilot G2 or perhaps a Papermate Profile or one of the gimmies from the parts counter at Ford or a title company. This is my dealer pen and it has never fallen out on or off road.
This sort of tire gauge is no Bueno there unless you like to constantly put it back. Maybe a plastic body one would stay better? Would be a superior function to the pen, IMO.

Added the Tectico side markers (with included harness). Ive since decided I want to use them as blinkers as well now and not just markers so I ordered the other harness to achieve this ?
