The rear lower door seal retaining strip stopped doing its job and fell off. A quick internet check indicated each strip costs about $50 incl postage from U.K.

So I decided the Xmas tree button option from SCA for about $6 per packet. I used clip number PP 60. The pack has 6 buttons but there's 7 retaining points in each door so will need to return for a few more packs.

Here's some pics to explain. Basically I had to trim the stalk and the button head so it fitted in the seal grove neatly. I hope it helps.

Nice repair. Mine fell off at a local carwash. They paid parts and labour on one side, I paid for the other side.
