One of the two hold down latches on my wind deflector is missing. The deflector stays in place with just one, but I would like to have both for a little more security from having it fly up. I browsed the Internet but to no avail. I may have to end up fabricating one. For those who have never used a wind screen or deflector the screen fits over the rear seats and comes up at 90 degrees behind the front seats. The two latches fit inside hole where the rear seat belts come out of the back of the rear seats.

Your best bet might be finding a whole deflector that's in rough condition being sold cheap that has at least one latch. Of course if you have a friend with a 3D printer, maybe you could have one made based on the one you have.

Windscreen latch

Could not find a latch anywhere. So being a woodworker, I made one out of piece of cherry wood. It is reinforced in areas if stress and the end that fits into the seatbelt slot is wider to get a better grip. Painted it black to match the other one. Works like a charm.
