i put only one per hoop. i put it on the side that is facing the outside of the car, the last hole, cant realyl see it at all. so if it were to fly off it will be held by the siptie in time to save it.
ill take a pic later on to show how i did it, pretty self-explanitory tho, and saves you money. (ask Nick )
Yeah, a $0.05 zip tie to save a $165 piece of plastic makes a lot of sense.

Does anybody have a picture of an unbroken clip for the windstop? I just ordered a windstop and would like to be able to tell if my clips are broken.

I don't use the the mesh inserts, and have notices no noise difference, plus it looks better, better vision, and I don't have to bother taking them in and out when the top is up or down. The glass piece fits great, but I heard about one guy who drilled a hole through the edge then ziptied it to the car. I might do that soon, just so it doesn't fly away on the freeway. Has that ever happened?

I agree on the inserts. I noticed today I had gotten used to looking through the roll bar when backing and turning. Now it seems like there is a blind spot.

I also noticed no real difference in having them back in wind and noise wise during my first drive with the new fix.

I didn't lose the middle screen, but my passenger one flew out which prompted me to having them out until the zip tie mod.
