    Instead of using the grommets,just put the bungee over the sign in like 4 places. One bungee on either end then a couple more spaced toward the center. I had 4 bungees that were the length needed to go from the upper flange to the lower flange of the bumper. Took about 2 minutes to set up and never lost a sign. Most truckstops carry a variety of bungee lengths.

    I had a magnetic sign. Didn't stick very good at all. Lost part of it(three piece) on first trip. Now I just bought a regular one again with gromets and use 6 magnets to hold it on my bumper. Quick an easy
