i didnt have a leak, i had a squeak in the a pillar, and the problem was the seal wasnt held down firmly enough, so i replaced these clips, i looked on servicebox the part number for the clips are 9023 T7

as for getting them i use this ebay seller to get clips etc:

ask them a question for the part number and they can give you a price, although so can any peugeot dealer.

Although despite the new clips i still get a bit of a leak from up around the A pillar corner, i think water gets in under the door seal, its definatley not through the sunroof, the windscreen is ok which leads me to believe that seal needs something behind it.

FAIL: I had a big puddle this morning.

I think it is this gap after all.

My current hypothesis is that the water leaks through this gap, into the top of the inner door seal, and runs round this seal down the A-pillar and into the driver's footwell.

So the gap now full of sealant and we'll see if I've got another puddle tomorrow...

Edit: On further inspection there is silt on the inner door seal from that gap forwards -- you can see it in the picture.
