Stupid door rubber trim on sills

Post by Welly »

I've just caught my NEW rubber door sill trim with my shoe and bust 3 of the little trim clips off :(

The whole trim is brand new, but can you just get the clips???

They look the weakest silly clips I've ever seen :shock:

6p each!!! What a fortune!
I stuck mine on with a product called "tigerseal". Its like "no more nails" for car bodywork. Mine have never moved since, and I catch it EVERY time. :cheesy:

I went through 4 years of ownership of my 406 and didn't know the clips were available by themselves. Gutting.

Cool, and only 17 for the rubber too... Mine's a mess (and the rubber's badly stretched) so I think I'll be calling in on the stealer soon :)

sill strips

Post by festers »

I found a wonderfull fix it's called velcro . if you knock it loose just stick it back on (works great).

Put one half on the sill and the other strip on the rubber strip problem solved.
