Default Window seal clips - where to source?

Hi… newbie here. I have tried to find the answer to my question by searching but no luck.

I noticed that when opening the boot (saloon) the left hand top corner of the boot was catching the bottom of the window seal. Turns out there is a broken corner clip of the window underseal (not the chrome trim, the other one underneath with clips). Photo attached.

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement clip without buying and replacing the whole seal?

This is the clip at the bottom left extreme of the window. I believe it may be smaller than the rest of the clips.

Thank you.

Matt

Thank you. Looking at the schemata it looks like you have to buy the rubber strip and all the clips as one (item no. 6 unless I’m being thick). Was hoping to get away with just sourcing the clip I need.

No, the rubber flap seal is separate Matt, and just be aware that you have to trim the new clips to clear the edge of the rear screen as the clip fouls the edge of the glass. The flap seal clips into the clips once they are in place on the bodyshell.

Thank you Steve. It looks like the clip I need is either 7, 8 or 9 in the schemata, but they don’t appear to be for sale separately in the list below. Only 6 - which is the entire seal assembly including clips. Am I missing something here?

I'm pretty sure that the clips you need are the ones listed as 'N.I' in the panel on the right of the web page. From memory, two of the clips have an additional piece which serves to align the glass to the bodyshell during the build process at the factory (and possibly when fitting a replacement screen) I think these will be nearest the wings and are possibly part number DCJ000040 the other clips which go along the bottom edge of the rear screen are DCJ000050. It might be an idea to phone Rimmers and ask, but I'm pretty sure you need two of the clips with the white insert and six of the others (DCJ000050) but confirm with Rimmers,

Steve

If Rimmers don't list the part for sale then they don't have them in stock
