my restoration may take longer than expected then lool

That's about the long and short of it. It can take years for the right part to come up at the right money.

Just remember, good things come to thoughs who wait.

clips go to vw, they're cheap. however if its right at the back where its coming up clips wont help you as the very back post doesnt use one, it clips direct into the rubber.  the metal it clips into might be bent, and possibly salvageable with some carefull tweaking.  but if the gutter is too bent then its pretty much scrap, very hard to get them straight again

Are these just trim, or do they perform a function? - Can they just be ripped off and tossed away?

they help direct warer away from the tops of the doors, and give the edges doors something to seal up against. when mine were trashed i used to get a nice shower of water whenever i open the door as the rain could drip down and sit on top of the door seals. once replaced no more drips. they also prevent some wind noise.  if not bothered about all that you could rip them off if you wanted to save weight :)

I thought there are two kinds if strips one shinny one matt I have a spare shinny one somewhere I was saving as they are very expensive when I tried to buy one so scrappy in the end but it was too shinny for the Rallye  :laugh:
