[urq] 811853329E and 855837477B no longer available

[Ado Sigal]

Found this last year after respraying the car, and these exact parts 
where the reason to invite the listers for NLA parts coordinated effort, 
but nothing came of it. Mind you, the outer window seal rubber is also 
NLA, while the inner is??. However, some months after, I checked again 
and to my surprise, the guy came up with the plastic bag with clips. 
Since I used the clips from the salvage car, the clips are somewhere in 
the box of spares at friends garage. Will have a good look and if found, 
they yours. Don't drill anything yet. Anyway, one can salvage most of 
those clips from wreckers by cutting open the end of the trim profile 
and sliding it out, rather than lifting it.

Regards,

Ado
