Body/Trim: 850: Roof Trim

[cyclogenesis]

So today I decided to tackle the roof trim that runs from front to rear as the plastic covering is coming off. On removing it however I discovered a whole world of hidden horribleness as along the weld, the sealant had failed and the welds were rusting. The Offside was quite back and at first glance the nearside was okay but when I removed the sealant, I could see the start of tin rot on that side too.

Quick trip to Halfrauds for some Kurust and some new sealant.

Does anyone know the part number or where I can get these spring clips as some are very rusty and broken?

Skandix sells them, for a few pounds each and then adds £££££££ postage.

eBay has them for twice the price but avoids the mental postage fees.

P/N for your own Googling is 9178792

They're something I now grab from every scrap car I find as the cost to replace them is mental.
