ever get metered w/ your windows cracked vs shut all the way? chances are you're better off w/ the leakage. some people actually remove their weather stripping to help. I'd meter it both ways to see if you might be hurting yourself. I dont know what they have clamp wise, but you could use metal brackets bolted in if it isn't something you have to open all the time- and dont care about asthetics.

not worried about looks at all. i know there are clamps because i have seen them before just never got the name. and im sure in my vehicle sealed up is gonna be higher in numbers! im metering next tuesday so we will see. but if anyone knows about the clamps please let me know.

Do you know what you're metering now?

Like I said, just try it, if I'm wrong I'm sorry for steering you the wrong way. I gain around 1db by opening my windows, and it makes my cd player skip much sooner to have my windows cracked open, and I've heard similar things from almost everyone I've talked to (that would be in the class you're talking about or lesser). Just trying to help, good luck with the clamps. Why not try home depot or lowes.
