Default Z06 screens velcro????s

I just installed a set of oem z06 screens in my 99 FRC
i used double sided tape running the whole length of the bottom of each screen and about 2 inched on the center of the top of each screen. I then used thick paper to slide them into place then pulled the paper out quickly.
they seem snug but appear to move slightly
my question is
IS THIS ENOUGH OR COULD THEY FALL OUT ? Anyone ever hear of these falling out???
thanks

my velcro is over 2 inches wide on the botton and around 1 on top , never had an issue in many years
I pushed them in as deep as they would go and then pulled the paper out , they don't wiggle
I use a putty knife to remove them when I want to

No problems here, just a pain to remove.
