Simple way to seal leaky rear screen clips.

Cut 8 x 1 inch sections of garden hosepipe. From the bottom of each squeeze in silicone sealant until you have a nice bead protruding at the top.

From inside the boot press each one all the way over a pin and give it a twist to seal it against the bodywork and....leave it there to go off.

You'll need to pop out the boot lamp to get to the two middle ones and the two either side of those are a bit of a fiddle to reach but the whole job takes about ten minutes.
