Securing Vert's retracted top "parade covers" ?

So the 1990 C900 vert I bought a few months ago actually still had the three piece retracted top covers stored in the original storage bag in the boot. I installed them a few times and have it down to about 10 minutes to get everything in place (as opposed to 15 seconds on my 9-3 vert). What I have not done is driven with them in place. Despite everything being intact (clips, rubber bands, tension springs) I really worry that the first time I hit highway speed I'll see the side wings fly off in the rear view mirror while the cross member flips back and beats the hell out of my trunk lid. I'm considering drilling a few holes thru them, fitting with rubber grommets and coming up with some sort lanyard system to at least keep them attached the the car if they should come loose. As I said - everything is in place and in good repair, but it just seems to be a questionable design. Anybody have enough experience to tell me if I'm being paranoid or not? Or is there a good reason they were dubbed "parade covers"?
