There is a full length plastic strip with the clips moulded into it, they aren't a lot of money from the dealers but yeah, Sikaflex or 3M VHB tape would do it... Pete

Looks like the thin plastic strip is still there in the photo - should have fixings on the reverse side that clip into the holes. |

Exact same problem - my clips no longer ‘clip’ at the lower end. I was planning to bodge it with an impact adhesive. 2011MY 4.4TDV8 Autobiography Baltic Blue

As Haylands say, you can use various adhesive tapes, looks like the fastening strip bits may have broken off / perished. Below link is for the fixing strip you MAY need to refit. Different part for left and right doors.

I recently purchased an assortment of plastic clips hoping to fit individual clips when I get to clean-off all the mud. |

I fixed mine by cutting off the plastic clip strip just clear of the bottom hole then used a fir tree clip to hold the trimmed end of the strip. There's now no plastic strip past the bottom hole but it never held the seal in place anyway. |
