Several of you have mentioned the possibility of breaking the tabs. I have popped my roof up a couple of times and not broken the tabs, forgetting the inserts were there. The tabs fit under the scissor part so as they go up, it simply un-hooks and falls out of the car. I am not recommending do this on a regular basis, but I don't believe tab breakage will be much of a issue. Scratching them up or your paint while falling out might be more of a issue.
Also if you have not picked up on this yet but the tabs also greatly reduce the wind noise when inserted.
Happy Motoring.
