I believe velco is pretty generic. Just cut it if you want those circles

Haha. That's a good idea. I'm going to need them for the summer, since it gets so hot down here and I have a black on black Trans Am.

I don't even use velcro. They just slide in there pretty well and stay in place when you secure the t-tops

Make sure to get expensive ones though. The sun will eventually melt the sticky stuff on the back of them, happened to me and the cover fell on my head.

Any dollar store (especially 99 cent store). Worried about glue 'wearing' out? $1 adhesive or super glue.

How did it fall on your head? I have a hell of a time getting the shades out without lifting up the T-Top.

To the original poster, you definitely don't need the velcro.. the shades will stay in place just fine without them.

The only thing the velcro's are good for is if you take the t-tops off all of the time, it keeps the shade panels from falling out when you remove the tops making job a little easier. Other than that you don't need them.

You can usually find them for sale on here, it's where I've bought two sets so far.
