I have now got new clips which do seem (being new) more resilient and "springy" than the old ones. So I am now waiting for aday when its warmer and not snowing to try and fit the clips and trim. In the meantime i stripped and polished the trim piece to try and remove the marks, pitting, scrapes and deterioration of the finish on the basis that I couldnt make it look worse. Started with wet&dry 800 and finished with 3000. Applied 2 coats of clear laquer. It certainly looks a lot better though I couldnt remove all the pitting. I dont know how long it will last with that protection. Anyone any experience?
