iirc, you will need a new strip. Once the strip is removed, there are metal lugs (part of the roof) in the gutters. The rubber strips just push down onto these lugs, don't THINK there are any seperate clips. The rubber strips are like the exterior window scraper seals and once they have bent bent/kinked slightly you will never get them to sit perfectly without getting brand new ones

Yeah mate, they have plastic clips that hold them in place
I still need some after removing them to have the roof painted as they all broke

Scrap yeard and help yourself. I have a box of them i have collected over time. If you break them getting them off you can mend them with a soldering iron.

I got some from Renaullt - last year though.... They are clipped in - you will need to buy the clips separately.

You might want to try other dealers as they might have them in stock, I got mine on the day I asked for them at my local stealers & they're usually pretty crap for having any mk1 parts on the shelf :lol:

But that was 3 years ago :?
