I have heard of velcro being used, which sounds like a good idea to me.

Sail panels are just a pain to keep in place especially the repo version it seems from personal experience and other testimonies on the forums

Have tried velcro but had issues with it sticking to the backing - so tried hot glue and that worked a little better. Ended up tucking the material inside the rear window gasket and using velcro for the leading edge and its holding for now.

Not sure what a good spirited run with the windows down will produce - just what I'm trying ;)

I've never seen anyone drag race with a 69/70 sportsroof with the windows DOWN, they should be OK at speeds below 70  :D
