No, unless your seats are styled different (though I concede I don't sit as
high), but I've never had one blow off like that even at high speeds.
Remember that although you might have a back blast, you also have air
coming over the head pushing it down, so it tends to keep it on. Not quite
as pronounced an affect when it's facing forward, so mine have always
stayed on.
Only real caveat is that if you drive more than 45mph in reverse that you
have to remember to rotate the cap again, lest it blow off in the other
direction. :)
