Back in the day my car was in daily use it got rear ended and had a new Back panel as a result. Bodyshop affixed them with a form of rubbery double sided tape, I was originally nonplussed, but the panel stayed rot free so in hindsight they did me a favour.cleverusername wrote: ↑Sat Oct 22, 2022 9:29 pm I think you need these for the rear screen trims:

They are horrible rot traps, those clips were pretty much the source of all the rust I had to treat in that section. Either the clips themselves rust and then eat into the body or when fitting the clips the paint is damaged, creating a rot trap.
My solution has been to pack the trim sections with grease, hoping that will keep the rot at bay.
Thats a good idea packing the gap with greasecleverusername wrote: ↑Sat Oct 22, 2022 9:29 pm I think you need these for the rear screen trims:
