Rear windscreen trim retainers
 

Hi folks.
Having an issue with water ingress in my boot. Definitely coming through the clips that hols the chrome trim under the rear windscreen.
Stupidly, I prised them up and broke not 1 but 5. Now I can't get hold of them to replace the broken ones.
Can anybody help?
Grateful of any assistance.
Part number is dcj10090.
Regards
John

If you mean DCJ100190... I have a couple if it helps?

This forum is superb. 2 clips found, 3 to go.
Anyone got any spare lying around?
Thanks

You will then find the items Rich referred to 'in stock' with Rimmers.

Kind regards,

You do realise that to fit these clips along the bottom the rear windscreen needs to be removed?

They are used to locate the screen within the aperture. They are also very weak, and if any of your clips are able to rotate at all, then they are broken. Also, when fitting new ones, just press the centre pin in with your fingers, do not hit them, or force them in any way, as this will cause the square pin on the back of the clip to break away from the rest of it. It's also highly advisable to smear some windscreen adhesive/sealant around the back and on top of the centre pin whilst fitting them, as the original clips rely on a pathetic piece of foam to prevent water ingress into the boot which deteriorates over time.

Any one who claims these can be fitted with the screen in place is entirely misguided, I have been there and attempted it, and it will be impossible without modifying or damaging the new clip.

You need two DCJ100180 (which have two white bits of rubber on each clip) and three DCJ100190.

The clips are both the same, except for the rubber bits, so you could order five DCJ100180 and remove the white bits.

The smaller clips around the window (DCC100350)
DCC100350) can be removed and refitted with the window in place, but will not cause leaks because they don't fit through a hole in the body, but on to a post welded to the body.
DCJ100180

Sorry, but I am not misguided, it is possible to replace the clips with the screen in place.

I have done it to several members cars now.

Yes the clips require modifying, but only slightly.

Plus the part numbers you quote have been superseded by the ones in my earlier post.

The rest is sound advice.
