Instead of two-sided carpet tape, which is very thin, get the thicker modeller's stuff from a hobby shop, or sometimes hardware stores sell an outdoor variety that's about 1/16" thick and spongy. With that and a wire tie at the bottom even the loosest of panels should stay put.

Btw, the wire tie at the bottom is there as a safety strap so that if the panel does pop out you don't spend the next hour looking for it in the ditch. A wire tie at the top isn't required and would look pretty bad no matter how you try and hide it.

I've never had one blow out, but after hearing of the experiences of others I thought it wise to take precautions. The thought crossed my mind to put a screw through the tab into the rollbar but I think that's going a bit far.
