They also do wider ones which you could cut down to help with perfect alignment strip to strip. Rubber washers and nuts and off you go..
Did you get anywhere with these clips?

I'm interested to hear if they are a solution

Yes! I blinkin' well did. 100% success in fact. I ordered the larger ones and then chopped a couple of mills off one side, which made them off centered and able to realign the strips. I found that I only needed to use them on the door trim strip, as that is the only piece that aligns with both other pieces. It was possible to get absolutely PERFECT alignment of the strips, which made me very happy. You can even go up at the front and down at the rear if needs be. I used a rubber washer, a stainless washer, a 5mm nut and some seam sealant on the reverse, and was able to get to the back of all the holes from inside the door to tighten. I might even take a pic to show how straight everything is now. Made me very happy..I would recommend it.
