+1 Zip Tie
I drilled a small hole in center wind screen to zip tie it as well.
Wasn't as a theft preventive but I was afraid of popping out on the Hwy.

My centre windscreen is in place 24/7 365 days. Maybe if I lived in a big city or high crime area - but out here in small town Ontario, totally not worried about it.

Do you find any issues with in cabin air flow to the rear window in winter? I recall seeing that it is suggested it be taken out to not impede air flow for defrosting. I'd just as soon leave it 24/7/365.

No need to worry. I've tested above 200km/h and it stays put.
