I put the clip in place and held it there for a couple of minutes, then I hit the road. I didn't put the top down until about an hour later.

That was almost three weeks ago now (19 days), and so far it's holding perfectly.:dance:
I'd like to hear a 1 year follow up on this from Tweet, or anything new from anyone else. My headliner decided to fall down on my head while I was driving up to a HPDE event a few days ago. Right now, I just have it taped up with heavy duty tape as a very temporary fix. The plastic is broken in numerous places.

Besides possibly gluing it back into place, doesn't seem that there's any decent fix. Can someone explain to me how it's supposed to attach. I can't quite figure it out from looking at it. It seems that the plastic clips onto the metal rib that runs along the top of the windshield, but I can't tell for sure.
