Default Windshield Noise From Bug Deflector

Ever since I put a bug shield on my truck, I get a cracking noise that sounds like it's coming from the front of the cab. I always thought it was just the bug shield flaping around. I looked it up and it seems to be the plastic strips on the sides of the windshield making the noise. It looks like by using double stick tape or a silacone under the strips it will stop it. does anyone know if it's really the plastic strips on the sides of the windshield or just the bug sheild making noise? Thanks.

Default Windshield Noise From Bug Deflector

On a Classic, 2 face tape is the fix.
The GM deflector I used included it in the box!
