I have tried everywhere in OZ to get new Sill Clips for a late Type 3 (thin Sill Strips with plastic clips) and have been told you can't get them anywhere in the world ?? (West Coast doesn't make them anymore).
If anyone can assist with good second hand, please let me know.
I have new plastic clips suitable for early type 3's if anyone needs some
Cheers in hope

I don't know whether second hand ones would be any good. I was looking at removing the trim clips form a car we were wrecking but couldn't figure out a way of removing them without destroying them. The problem is that the remove them you have to push in the central pin. This means the pin ends up inside the sill where you cann't get at it short of cutting open the sill.
If anybody knows where to get the clips, I'd live to know too.

Yeah, mine had the plastic ones that are rooted on removal, but I have been told that some cars used metal clips that can be reused. If I find any I'll keep you in mind Purple dude
Ar crap - I just purchased them and found they are the trim mouldings and not the Sill/Rocker ones :repuke
But did appreciate the heads up Purple Dude 😉
If anyone wants 60 trim clips, let me know :P
DOH!!!!!

Ring Gary at Wolfsburg 9370 3100. You are looking for plastic clips slightly less than an inch in width with a plastic pin push through locking device to fasten it onto the body and are about two inches long.

SPRINTSTAR, Thanks for the heads up, however those clips are for the Big Ass Sill Trim, whereas mine has the thin style.
However it looks like I might have to put thick ones on it, so will give Gary a call.
Airfooled - They look the same as the clips I bought of ebay, but they are bigger
