I believe that side curtains on roadsters have a tendency to blow out due
to increased pressure within the car, especially at speed.  Mounting and
fitting the curtains perfectly so that they notch in behind the windshield
stantions just enough to resist this force is not easy and I came up an
easy solution:  I mounted a 1" square neodymium magnet to the front inside
upper corner of each curtain and a similar magnet to the rear face of
each stantion using a small piece of angle in such a way that they are in
their "attraction" mode when the door is closed.  The magnets are more than
powerful enough to overcome the pressure from within the car and yet they
release when the door is opened.

I forget now my source but the magnets can be ordered with holes predrilled
in their center and they are chrome-plated.
