Hi, to all forum members.
I am a hobby mechanic, from Croatia.
I have had a problem with watter in car, and during repair I broke plastic clips (2 and 3 in picture) from roof. Now i cant find part nr to order new one. Does anybody here can help me? Thanks a lot.
Post or PM your VIN so I can check the correct parts for you, as you haven't said what Spec., Year, Saloon or Tourer.
Not to worry - I've found it's for the saloon roof trims. As you have probably already guessed there are no parts listed for the clips - so either they would come part of a new moulding or you will have to ask Citroen directly as in the documentation it does recommend replacing them if they are damaged on removal - so they must be available.

As per my last post - no parts for the clips referred to in the repair procedure - 6 & 7 are only the fixing screws and nut caps - so as I said, I think you'll need to speak directly to Citroen for these.

I spoke already but they told me that there are no reserve clips only, but in service box there is remark: in case that clips are broken, replace with new clips???
I didn't saw your last post
Yes, they do mention them as replaceable, but that could also mean only as part of a new trim piece!
They do for example make the windscreen plastic clips available - as of course they need to replace these under the side pillar trim when the windscreen is replaced - and they would sell a lot of these to the windscreen companies - but in this case for the roof trim - you might be stuck with having to buy the trim and then trying to use or rescue the clips off the new trim to use on your old trim, as you won't want to be painting it too!

It might be the case, but check with the main dealer first to double check that they are supplied with the trims. Have you tried finding a donor car that's been written-off by the insurers after an accident?

I've just checked the price in the UK and each trim is £101.09 excluding 20% VAT (£121.31 Inc. VAT) and that is unpainted. So I expect a similar amount in Germany.

Better wait till next month then!
