What I did on mine(and not just becaue of the rattleing, but also because I have heard of them flying of the car) I opeted for a dap of RTV on each clip. It dose not show, no more rattle or worry of them flying off, and Will not be to hard to remove if needed.

Hi,
RTV = Room Temperature Vulcanization. They are one or two part Silicone Sealants using either condensation cure or platinum cure catalysts.
Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!...Jim'99

Wow, sounds complicated. I think I will use the felt tape!

Hi,
I had a similar problem on my '99 w/ the Windstop. In addition, I have heard of several instances where the Windstop was torn off the car at speeds above 75MPH.
So, instead of going the felt strip route, I got some doublesided Foam tape. I carefully cut down the .75" strip to maybe .3" and placed a 1" piece under each side of the Center Stop and a .5" strip under the bottom of the Side Stops.
This has the double-effect of both wedging the Stops in place, but also adds an adhesive to help it from blowing out. I never remove the Windstop (or have the Top up for that matter - Sunny Day, Seasonal Car) so removal isn't an issue. But it will remove with a little careful pulling. Maybe a little denatured alcohol might be needed to remove any residual adhesive from the RollBar. Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!...Jim'99

Hi,
Sounds complicated, but it's just ordinary Silicone Sealant - next time read the package, you'll see it's rated RTV.

I just fixed it with the Felt tape. The stuff I bought was called "Stick-it-Felt" and I got it from Hobby Lobby. When I asked for felt tape, the lady looked at me like i had a "you know what" coming out of my head. The felt works great!
