Wind deflectors behind headrests

But 3M tape on the tabs is an awesome idea! It keeps them from rattling, too.

You could probably even use molding tape. It is stronger and black, so it won't be as noticeable if a little of the tape sticks out. But that may be overkill too.

what do you mean when you say "on the tabs"? i don't see any tab looking things.
I just realized that my having red leather interior means the roll bar things are red leather at the front (black plastic at the back) so whatever colour ziptie i use it will look crap from one side. so zip ties are out of the question for the top parts (the bottoms would be ok as you can't really see them)

Are we referring to the same thing? I was talking about the black grilles that go behind the headrest. If you're referring to the same items, then they have 3 tabs that lock them (although loosely) to the roll bar.

I want to caution that if you use 3M tape to hold them down, you'll most likely never get the back out in one piece, as they are VERY brittle. I learned that the hard way. In fact, I no longer recommend using tape. Thank God for JB Weld for plastic, I was able to mend the broken pieces.

If you're talking about the clear plastic that goes between the humps, if the car didn't come with it, you'll have to buy the mounting kit and rivet it onto the roll bar. I did that with mine and if you need help let me know.

The front red pads can be removed or pried loose enough to fish a ziptie between them and the roll bar. This way you can use a black ziptie to match the roll bar and you won't see anything in the front. In the back, they would match the black roll bar so they will not be as noticeable.
