The clips depend on the design of the metal trim. I think if its the same cross section as a stock trim them use the origional type clip and rubber
grommet to stop water getting into the car.
Are the flash clip made from a wire material ?? I think these were the aussie aftermarket clip.

they are the wire clip type so they dont have a rubber grommet? if so waht stops the water getting in and some of the clips are rusty wouldnt that
cause the body to rust as well?

Marcel
check the profile of the trim and if its the same as a stock side trim use the origional VW clips with rubber grommets
Toss the wire ones away. you may have to drill the holes slightly larger.. they made the wire ones as the origional VW ones were not available
new clips are 0.45 cents each.
