I zip-tied mine as well, for quick top-down stops in the suburbs. The top is never down in urban areas, mostly to avoid lobbed-in objects from haters.
Another tip is to wrap electrical tape around the tabs that hold the deflectors in place in the rollbar, which prevents them from rattling and popping out so easily.
That is horrible about tops being sliced upon to get at these -- in what neighborhood(s) have you seen that, Boxtaboy?
