Trim clip for waist strip

HarryM1BYT · 2nd June 2021, 08:12

The trip clip has broken, for the very narrow strip of trim which run along the waist of the car. The strip has come adrift at the very front/ leading edge, where the strip becomes pointed. Has anyone got a source for replacement clips and a 'how to' pleas.

You'll have to define whether the trim isfor the front or rear of the vehicle. Clips are available with a proviso if it is a rear trim (tonneau) as I have just done a repair on my 260. I don't know about inner trim.

It's on the outside of the car, right at the very front, just a little way back from the headlight. On some models it is a chrome strip, but on my model the strip is body colour.
