I completely agree with you about the Mercedes attention to detail. My W123 has a very good system but I can't see it working with the trim I've got on my PV (but I might take a closer look just in case)

I wouldn't be surprised if in the 1960s Mercedes used a similar system as the Volvo however so I guess we shouldn't be too hard on them!

I've been thinking along the lines of caulking strips and just hoping those evil clips don't scratch my new paint.

I've also been considering full on modern automotive double sided tape but for that to work I reckon you'd need to fill in the underside of the trim with something like an epoxy filler so there would be enough surface area for the glue on the tape to grip onto the trim.
