For one, you may want to think about removing your brothers' teeth. :)
As for a temporary solution, many hardware stores will carry little rubber feet for putting on the bottom of radios and what not. They might not be ultra secure but they may be a usable bandage until you get a better replacement.
These are what I'm talking about.
I had this issue with one of mine. I had heard about the rubber dot that wears out under the touchpad. I took the controller apart and replaced the worn out one with some other material (the edge part of one of these) and it has worked great so far. The only problem I have now is that the one controller has a brand new rubber thing and I can feel how bad the other rubber dot is getting and will need to replace it eventually as well.
It wasn't that exact thing from amazon, but it was similar and just an idea of the material, it was just thin yet dense rubber with an adhesive back side. The thing that is in the controller from the manuf seems to be a slightly foamy rubber or something. It was kinda soft to the touch, so I can see how it would go out.
I personally didn't want to wait for them to futz around with RMA because I knew it was an easy fix and I was very capable. I was back and playing that same day.
One already exists, although I had to deviate in one area - aligning the stock gasket.
I found the stock gasket lacking in thickness and glue. I found a substitute, used the stock to determine the diameter, and replaced.
My CLICK is much more satisfying, and has been dropped many times to ensure reliability.

Thanks /u/illuzionvr
I replaced the gasket with the material here:

...I used the material found between the feet, the stuff that gets discarded.
You could put things like http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/clear-self-stick-rubber-pads-452045/ http://www.amazon.com/3M-754ES-12-Piece-Self-Stick-0-16-Inch/dp/B001QCXXWS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1290449459&sr=8-1 or http://www.amazon.com/Waxman-Style-Gripper-4-Inch-5-Inch/dp/B000SL0KJM/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1290449484&sr=8-7 around the inside of the box. They should cushion the Plexiglas and unless you're putting a LOT of wear on them, stay in place for quite some time. Depending on the self-adhesive on the rubber padding, you might have better luck trying to find one that doesn't have self-adhesive on it, and using super glue or something similar to hold them on firmer.
