I've managed to do the rear light fix with silicone around the split gasket etc, but I feel the trim clip repair is too much of a task for a novice such as me. Is there anyone willing to repair the same situation for a fee?? I live around Cambridgeshire and can travel to reasonable location to get it repaired properly. Also not sure if the clips or trim needs replacing can I still purchase these anywhere ?? Thanks

It is likely that there will be some broken clips, the ones that hold the trim on are still available from Rimmers.
Don't panic if the chrome trim doesn't sit flush as it is purely decorative.
I know it is a bit of a drive up to these parts from where you are, but I am always happy to complete the job for free. Obviously if you need parts you would need to buy and fit them yourself as I do not keep any.
The only problem is if the clips at the bottom of the windscreen are broken, easy to identify with no work at all. Open the boot lid, gently pull on the rubber flap upwards (towards the sky) and if the chrome trim moves away from the car there is a good possibility they are broken.
Ideally they need the screen out to replace them, but I can replace them without removing the screen also.
