Well, the left side gutter trim which was replaced on my touring when I first got it (It wasn't present), has decided it wants to part company with the rest of the car around the front passenger door.

I've tried putting tape on the lip to give the clips more grip but the sodding thing keeps flicking out on motorways or major A Roads :mad: :x :x :x

Is there anyway to stop this? like squeezing the clips with a pair of pliers to get it to grip again, or is brand new bits from BMW's again :(
