Thanks for that, Trikey - maybe give it a go if he weather ever improves here. THINK the new clips are still available form Rimmers...

Trikey,
Would you mind listing the correct part number and quantity required - I think it's just 7 of the 'horizontal' positioned items..... did you retain/use the new foam pin washer/gasket that came with the clip assembly since once the new clip is 'glued' into place the only possible source for water to leak into the car is passed the foam washer? |

See the attached picture for the part number, I can’t remember if there are seven or eight! (I have slept since I did the job) I bought a couple of extra ones just in case I needed them.
I discarded both the foam seals, as I suspect these would again break down over time preferring the sealer method. So far it’s nice and dry in this area (previously I could remove a litre of water overnight following rain)
