<< I think we're fooling ourselves if we believe that the clip method of
attaching the deflectors is going to be a quiet long lasting method of
attachment.  Most of vents I've seen appear to be glued on.  I'm wondering if
a couple of small dabs of clear silicone on the clips won't help hold these
babies on better.  These deflectors must expand and contract a bit with
temperature fluctuations, and road vibrations would surely loosen them up over
time.

 Now it's a much different story if the deflectors are not the correct size to
begin with.  If you check the archives, there seems to have always been a
little bit of a problem with these things loosening up.  I plan of following
the instructions carefully when installing them.

 I will try these out before I ship them.  If they don't fit, or don't work,
then I'm out the cost of shipping these back.

i have a pair of the ClimAir ventshades.
there are no clips.
they attatch in the upper channel of the window just by tension/ pressure.
they dont stay in place....
the only alternative is to silicone them in, it seems.
