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!
