So I've noticed that my passenger side gutter trim has gone, thought I might have noticed that coming off but obviously not, quite fooked off as it now looks a bit sh*t.

How much do they usually go for as the only one I can find is on ebay for £70, is that really how much people want for them?

You would notice them coming loose and then flying off, light fingers I suspect.

I had one come loose and disappear at speed once. The problem is the steel securing clips gradually rust away, until one day, they're not strong enough to resist the wind drag.
