I had the same experience on my 4kq. I was on my way home from the tire
shop, and as soon as I hit 100, they ALL came flying off at the same
time. Sounded like a drive by shooting! I soiled myself I think.
Anyway, from then on, I go to the dealer and get the tape ons, no matter
how fast you go, they stay on. (But high pressure washings can take them
off)
Also bought a MX-3 a new windshield on that one.
