Windstop eject at 80+mph

I have noticed the two release clips at the top corners of the windstop rattling around at speeds around 75-80 mph. Yesterday, I was doing 85, and just caught the windstop as it was ejecting from the car!

Anyone else have these issues? Suggestion for a fix? The clips are just too loose, but I don't want to start screwing things down, nor do I want to get sued when the thing launches out of the car and starts a freeway pile-up.

Car is a 99 986 with 39k miles. Way out of warrenty. Unless it was a safety recall, I dont think the dealer would help.

If the windstop is put in correctly this will not happen. I bet you have a broken clip(s). There is a clip on each roll bar and on each side of the clear plastic. Check all 4 carefully as it is sometimes hard to tell if one is broken.

HI,

Take some double-sided Foam tape and cut it down into thin strips then attach it to the Roll Bar and insert the Windstop. The Tape will do two things; it will adhere to the Roll Bar and Windstop and it will act as a wedge to make the windstop tight. It works great. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
