    Just thought I'd share. Walking through Home Depot and saw some of those furniture movers, and thought that would work for draft pads. Only cost 4 bucks.

    I put the thin felt side up.

    Oh, forgot to mention I used a spring I found in my bend of "extra stuff" and cut to size.

    I cut up old mud flaps. You just need to use the thin ones so it won't mess with your adjustments.

    Good idea! Some here have used the bottom of foam can cozy's also.

    Now why didn't I think of that.
    and yes uncamonkey, the pads were a little thick, but I did have some wiggle room, more for the clutch than the brake pedal so I just cut the spring shorter.

    I cut the pads with a 2" hole saw then followed with a 3/4" hole on the inside. Then sort of a spiral cut about 1/4th of the way around the pad. You can sort of screw them in through the holes in your floorboard. You aren't going to win any awards at the Jeep shows with these but they do keep the wind and water out and you don't have to fight with the pedal clamps.
    Another Buba fix? You betcha.
    I know this isn't the correct way to fix this, but the 10 deg weather and 8'' of snow made me come up with alternate ways of dealing with the problem and they still work.
