Julian Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Can someone please guide me to an address where I can get those clips that hold the chrome rubbing strips onto the body of my Vauxhall Coupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mepbowles Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 If it's the ones with black rubber centres they're in eBay. The pure aluminium hockey strips have a smaller Clip that's harder to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 Looks like that the only solution to this is to use self tappers to fit it, like drill through the rugger strip and bury the head of the self tappers in the rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to find the clips if you can. They have tiny little spaces that keep the trim off the bodywork so water and dirt doesn’t get caught behind them. How many clips do you need - I can probably find 4 or 5 and I’m sure others have odd ones knocking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Pounsett Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Posted. 😁 These are on eBay. Expensive for what they are but they are available. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Trim-Clamps-10-Piece-Mudguard-Door-Side-Panel-Opel-Ascona-B-Manta-/133773110014?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
