Cut pieces of 5/8ths round foam weatherstripping for the Kidder Rails:

Use micro plastic wire clips for under the Kidder Rail on passenger side. They come in white, so I painted mine to match the trim:

Micro hairclips for attaching string to XL visor. You'll need 18:

A 30 foot string fits perfectly on the side of a 320. The visor only needs 20 feet, so you can simply cut off the excess lights:

They are battery operated. 3 "AA" cells for each string. They have 8 different modes. The cafe lights are dimmable in the "solid" mode.

I like the foam idea. Mine are small LEDs that fit inside the Keder rail channel but the foam plugs would help. My strings are USB powered so I added a weatherproof USB port to power them (and a 12 volt port) next to the outside AC outlet. I use medium binder clips to attach them to the edge of my awning. Also good for the shades.
