Why not just get some 3M foam pad things for mounting posters and stuff from Walmart or your office supply cabinet? Cut it into a few thin strips and apply.

It might work....this is dense foam though

3M office supplies may not sit well with my Porsche OCD though

These are the pads I need. In one spot the pad is attached and in the other it has come off..

Okay what I did was get some appropriate size Wurth weather stripping from a dealership fits perfectly and takes up any slop in the latches and clips.

I found that old latches have lost all of their spring and pliability. This makes them brittle and not able to function as intended. There is a rib in the latches that must act like a cantilevered leaf spring....if it deforms or goes brittle you loose the spring loaded latching action.

So now I have a nice tight wind flector that won't fly away for a while!
