This is Porsche, baby, ain't no such thing as affordability or reason behind pricing. Ever wonder why they are the most profitable car maker in the world for 8 years running??

You can put a thin layer of felt on the underside of where the clips touch the rollbar, or cover the clips in electrical tape and it helps a bit.

Hi,

Use a small piece of double-sided Foam Tape on each edge and Clip, this has the effect of wedging them into place as well as adhering them. They will absolutely NOT rattle, or come loose at high speed either. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I like the idea someone here posted a while back... use a couple of black zip ties on each side to hold them on. They can't fall off, they're held tightly so they don't rattle, and thieves won't be able to just pop them out and run. They'll hardly be noticeable, unless you have bright red or yellow painted rollbars.
