Default type r wind deflectors?

hi,just been out for a drive to find that the wind deflectors are s**t,drivers side hanging on for dear life and passenger side isnt exactly what i would class as secure,ive noticed they are held by little clips which i appear to be missing a couple.
It seems that the rest of it is held by little sticky adhesive pads which in my opinion is just crap,is it meant to be like that as standard?
any ideas how i can properly fix/secure these as really didnt want to remove them?

Scoobyparts sell the units, they may have some spare clips, or try eBay mate.

Tar and glue remover. I wouldn't remove them if i were you as the paint goes pitty underneath the sticky strips as i found out.

I bought a brand new set to replace and to cover up the crap paint but then decided to have the car painted, i cant decide whether to put them back on or not now i dont need too
