Ta Joe. I would have preferred the genuine part, but it's probably just as effective and is a mod that doesn't look out of place. It's not a thing that anyone would look at. So I'm pretty happy with it. ______________________________

Great solution, I have the same problem on mine. Guess I'll be ordering those Christmas tree clips |

Great fix. Do you have any idea what size the button clips are as the partcode looks like an aus one. Need to order some for myself to do this! Thanks Current 2007 TDV8 Vogue Buckingham Blue |

Thanks. I measured the holes to be about 6x8 mm. The Xmas tree stalk is not the same width all round and was a little bigger maybe 7x9. But I orientated the trimmed button head to sit inside the seal's groove so that the 9mm wide part of the stalk sat in the 6mm section of the hole. The groove keeps it orientated the right way. Not that it really wants to rotate anyway. ______________________________

This looks to be a great alternative.

As indicated above the retaining strip was about $50 incl postage to the colonies (Australia). It would be a lot cheaper over the counter in the U.K. ______________________________
