Hi
I'm assuming that you're using the gutter with the figure of 8 bit. We first tried that as well but it would come off in the slightest of breezes. We ended up fixing a length of awning rail on our high top about 6 inches above the gutter. If you have a pop top there is an older thread somewhere in the tech bit I think where someone attached the rail to theirs, its got pictures ae well.
Hope this is a little helpful.
