Default Putting the Boot On

Hey everyone! I finally got a boot for my convertible! I got an AMAZING deal on ebay. I put it on this morning and it was pretty easy to put on and i snapped it in. As I was driving it seemed like the wind was buffeting it a little, it wasn't moving but I wanted to make sure I had put it on correctly. Are there any tricks/things I should know to make sure it is on correctly?
Thanks!

Okay great. The fluttering was making me nervous, it's clipped in so i guess it's not going any where

No I don't. I can't see spending money on something like that, I like the wind blowing around me

Not only does it look cool, it'll cut down on the top 'flapping'. Get one. Today.

We just bought a new '07 NBC S. We got them to throw in a wind stop and a boot. They had to order the boot, so we don't have it yet. But I really love the wind stop. Learned the hard way though that you cant use it at highway speeds with the windows down. I heard a big crack, and looked around to see what it was. It was the screen being blown down. No damage, just now I roll up the windows while on the highway with it up. I leave it in all the time too, so it's easy to use.
