Am I missing something? How is it possible to not secure them properly? Don't you just put them on and roll up your window?

For some reason mine won't go up into the window slot very well so it flaps around pretty good. But I can't see how it would ever fall out.

I did not know that store still exists. Let me know if they have any. I'm going to try River City Sports again although last time I was there was about 3 weeks ago and it looked like the owners were preparing for a Jets cup run.

They have them online.

https://www.rivercitysports.com/CDA/...cfm?sku=167824

If they don't have one in stock locally they'll transfer one to the store from Winnipeg.

Frameless window?

Mine fell out the other day. Can't pull into parkades or my garage without it clipping. Cracked the window down thinking it would stay put. Nope.

Thankfully I was right in front of my house.

There is a store on Stephens Ave called Kanata (they sell tourist trinkets) that has flags, standard size for 10 and large for 15.

Just bought mine at Canadian Tire on the south side. $9.99. Had lots of them too.

That would explain it. I tried to jam it over the top of my door. It worked for quite a few days too. Now I feel dumb. Bah!

I'm sorry, but I burst out laughing reading this.

I wish you better luck on your next flag I'm sure it'll last longer this time.

Amazing it stayed on for so long.

I put mine on today too. Normally, I'd feel a little weird being the only car in town with them, but the apathy here makes it a non-event.

Yeah, really. I had a mini antenna flag in '04 that lasted a day. Still PO'd.

I've seen so few cars with flags on them - maybe a handful since Wednesday. Maybe demand greatly outstripped supply and there is just not that many out there?

I did have someone park next to me at work who also had a flag - I felt the camaraderie immediately.

Prob got buried; any idea where to grab these in RD? Checked canadian tire when that was first suggested but both locations told me no dice. Maybe worth stopping in again as that was a week ago

I think that is right. Stores were just not ready for the demand because I also haven't seen many cars with flags
