I have a 2013 with the bungee loops. Mine only came off the first time because I didn't have the loop completely on the hook. After that no real problem - it does rise up in the center but that didn't worry me until i added the windrestrictor. Now it lifts a great deal, to the point I was worried if it lifts high enough it could turn into a sail. The hook and loop solution IMO is probably the bestsince the bungee add allow some flexing and not tug directly on the cover fabric. Not being that fussy, I chose the velcro solution. I got the industrial strength heavy duty glu on 4" x 2" strips. I cut one down to 1" x 2" and stuck it on and let it sit overnight (directions say 24 hours cure for the adhesive). It was easy to put on, and works perfectly. Of course it adds a step to getting the cover on and off, and it adds some strain to the cover vinyl but I'm satisfied with it.

IMO, the key is having the top adjusted so it drops down further in the well.

I have done the Velcro on mine both front and back, it works well I still see some movement but i think it is much moer secure. I only have the clips not the cords.

Coming back from a cruise this past weekend I watched this happen on my friends convertible in front of me. It started flying off but the bungee loops saved it (and me).

Hey I have a 2012 vert with the bungee loops on each side and the owner's manual states to hook to post on rear seat housing........I looked and looked and stretched the loops to where the posts could possibly be. No luck locating.
Could it be my car was the in-between the two tonneau tops and the posts weren't added? |

i have a 2013 2 LT vert. i use the bungee cords when on highway speeds, but on side streets going 40 to 50, i just tuck it in without using cords. it seems to fit snug and not move any. the bungee cords take extra time to try to loop them. the whole cover is clumsy to put on but sure looks nice when its on.
