Louvers?

Ok, the first pair I bought kinda blew off my car when I was doing about 80 or so, didnt notice it at the time but when I bought them the latches on the top were missing so, so much air musta got under it and broke them off. Now, if I bought ones with the top latches would that really help, if I was doing 80+ or would they blow off again. I have heard a few others where the wind played "wizard of oz" with their louvers.

My factory louvers had clips on top and sides with quarter turn fasteners. Clips went under the metal window frame and had adhesive tape to the glass itself. Really stuck on there too. Try the Scotch 3M double sided tape, dark stuff with red plastic cover, should hold it.

call jc whitney co they can still get the all abs plastic ones, but the aluminum ones are harder to find now, you might be able to order them from your auto parts chain stores
