Bought some black rubber with self adhesive on one side from Lowes. Cut to size for each tab. No rattle. Also black zip ties to prevent them from flying down the road. Too expensive to replace them, zip ties are cheap!

The mesh inserts ARE expensive to replace . How do I know? I just lost my passenger side insert on Saturday. Upon arriving home, I zip-tied my driver's side insert and ordered a new passenger insert. The new insert should arrive today. I will zip-tie that one too. For the price I paid (even considerably less than dealer price), you would think they were made of precious metal.

I'm sorry but I laugh every time I see these posts.

Because mine WILL NEVER FLY AWAY! I am not trying to be a smart Alec but it cannot be stolen either simply because it is sandwiched between the Roll Bar and padding using factory clips.

The stock wind deflectors will NEVER hold up. They fall out, they get stolen. Replacements, sorry Jay, are expensive. I made one for less than $50.

When you are ready to retire it….PM me and I'll give you instructions on how you can make your own, for now. I may decide to sell them sooner or later.

This is a half size (so you can still hear the speakers):


Here it is installed:
