Door rubbers and door bin trim etc.

Post by Steve A »

Hi, i am hving problems with my door rubbers keep dropping off they are repro ones but wondering if there are any tricks to keep the in situ? lso the pocket trim, rear bin trim and lower dash rail trim all seem to want to 'pop' off any hints or suggestions to hold them in place? thanks Steve

The front and rear bin trim is held in by retaining clips whichlook the same as those used to hold on the 4 seam covers.
The dash chrome trim also has clips (6), but these are a bit more complicated in shape.
Tried to take a pic of one, but my daughter has "borrowed" my camera and my work camera has flat batteries with the charger being in work. Typical. :roll:
As for the door seals would some sort of high tack adhesive be suitable.?

Minispares, it is worth giving the chrome strip a little squeeze to help the clips grip.

I was in Malvern as well, but I didn't see your friend. ;)
I spoke to Mike on the Miniworld parts stand and it seems the clips for the dash chrome strip are no longer available.
However, on the Old Skool Minis stand I found some clips that looked similar to the dash ones. I wish I'd taken a clip with me to compare.
Shall get you pic up soon seeing as my daughter has decided to come home now. :roll:

What piece of trim is that clip for Gray.? It looks different to what I've got here. Is it a new repro type.?
I'll post the 3 different types that I've found just in case.

From the left, dash trim clip, companion bin clip, and seam cover clip for comparison.

The last pic shows how complex the dash trim clip is.
Sorry about the poor quality pics. Can I borrow your camera Gray. ;)

My pic is of a dash clip, not sure if it is the correct style as I lost mine years ago (bin) I got these from ebay from mymini48
in Australia nos, if they are not correct they work superb. Panasonic TZ10 great camera but it would help if I read the instructions!! ;)

Just looking at Brescos site your dash clip looks similar to 11K2960, which I think looks more correct than what I used perhaps mine is a modern equivalent, yours look like they would be easier to remove the trim from.

Had a rummage and found a Dash trim off a MK3 and it had the same clip as the one Gray posted a pic of.
The red clip in my pic is off a 67 car. Mystery solved. :)
