morning folks,

anyone know of any way of keeping the gutter trim in place on my 2 door?

the front is starting to come away & i really don't fancy it flying off never to be seen again.

are there any sort of clips to keep it in place or is it going to be tiger seal??
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

#10 on here? It's a U shaped steel clip with barbs that pushes over the body seam, and clips inside the trim. They eventually rust away completely.
I know what they look like in reality, and it's not much like the illustration of #10, but that's often the case with the ETK diagrams.

buy yourself some tiger seal , the only clip is at the rear of the gutter rail that joins the C pillar trim .
