The pool noodles made a big difference for us when the wind was blowing. It stopped the draft.

We had another draft behind the closet. The upper and lower shells were not fitting together tightly enough. I tried stuffing towels in there but that did not work.

So when I got home I took the aluminum latch off and drilled a hole on the other side from the original hole. I installed it flipped over from the original orientation. Now, in order to clip it in place, I have to lean into the upper shell to push it in about 1/8 inch. No more draft behind the closet on windy nights. Not every one will have this problem. The pool noodles, I think, are applicable to everyone.
