Excellent question!

Unfortunately, I don't have any good answers. :( I think part of it is material flaw - over time the plastic used becomes very, very brittle.

Offhand, the only thing I could think up would be to cement them on some clear plexi before they start to fall apart. It might be more trouble than it's worth though, and might not work at all. :(

Yikes! I *thankfully* have never had this happen. *Knocks on wood*

One thing that I've done with a few of these thin marquees (which is a little overboard, really) is frame them. They'll be nice and secure that way ;)
