Roller shade clips

Has anyone had problems with the roller shades coming loose on the drivers and passenger windows or being a little squeaky. The clips they use don't see to be very good and they used wood screws in hollow wood without the benefit of some type of molly plug which don't hold after all the bumpy roads we have to travel over. I need to replace the clips or have some more shades made so that the bracket can be secured to the top with regular screws and use push pins to take the shade out when necessary.

No problems coming loose but have problems getting them to go all the way up. They stop about 6" of so from making it to the roller. The tech showed us there is an adjustment on the roller ends but I think I'm just making it worse.
Anyone know proper procedures for adjusting these things?

This doesn't look like my driver and passenger manual roll shades. Mine have an adjustment rotary on each end of shade. Left I think is supposed to adjust stop point and right tension. But don't remember entirely from purchase training.

Go to the first link and look at the PDFs for shades after 2010, it has rollers on each end.

Ok. I took another look at those manuals and figured out one end sets speed or tension of rise and other sets stop point. It says one end wheel is supposed to be gray and other black. Mine are both white.

I gave it another try. I spun each end multiple turns and kept testing shade until I figured out which end controlled what. The other side was reversed obviously. I found I needed tension set first so I could get a clear decisive stop. Once tension was good it was easy to adjust other end wheel to set stop.

I apparently had got it out a whack messing with it before.

Thanks for the links!
