Help Please W123 Wind Deflector (aftermarket) install - How do you do it ?

This came with China Blue and I finally have room now in my garage for two cars (both W123s).

No instructions in the box, and it appears to be missing a washer. I am not even sure this is everything in the accessory pack. I installed the gasket (again, assuming this was the orientation of the gasket, but it seemed logical to go this way).

Does anyone have any instructions? The box it came in has a receipt from Eckler's going back to January 2018. I have bought from them in the past, but they don't have the best (in my opinion) customer service.

Not even sure how close this Air Deflector is to the back in the day Dealer part. This one is labeled made in Germany.

Here is the accessory packet. You can see where it is raised on the left and right hand side and I am assuming the fasteners pull it down on the left and right hand side which causes the tension for it to stay in place. I am assuming a washer got lost along the way. I hope there's something out there which is close so I can match this up. Finding speciality fasteners, washers, grommits is tricky and time consuming.

you can use the mounting hardware, but personally I would use 3m double sided tape. most important part is use adhesion promoter on all surfaces and it will stick and never come off

I found some instructions .... while taking a leisurely stroll on the net. It's too hot now in my garage to tinker so I starting looking for instructions as this is an apparent normal topic which pops up from time to time. I will try to find the correct rubber washer and try again tomorrow in the early AM hours.
