This is a picture of one of the clips just as I was taking it off.
I replaced the square washer with a new piece of neoprene cut to shape.



Hope this helps.

ive done that but still seems bit loose :S

They're strange clips. The screws need to be tapped down after loosening them to remove them.
I can't remember, but maybe there's a knack to tightening them when re-fitting.

I would try again, but this time screw the screws in a couple of turns before putting the clips into the bodywork.

is there anymore clips other that the one u have pictured? i mean like a different type

[Pushki]

Not that I can remember. They should screw down tight.

[RAZOR]

ok bud i shall have a look tomorrow. cheers

All 7 are the same, and it should be a case of tighten them until they are tight, then job done!

[RAZOR]

ok cheers adam ill check it out tomoz maybe i havent tightened them lmao also, what would u recommend i used to seal the rear window seal in?

Ive just fitted one yesterdays so i should be able to help...
Here is pic of how it should look from underneath.


After i had ripped the old one out i reshaped all the mounting holes in the bodywork where the clips fit , scraped the old gaskets off and put a fair amount of rtv silicone around the hole edges and slotted the new one into place and then tightened all the screws starting from the middle and working out to the edges. The screws take a lot of turning till they tighten up. And thats it-I didnt bother with any sealant along the rubber strip as i dont think its necessary if its fitted correctly.

and a couple of pics of it fitted
