As above, no clips, just metal within the rubber to grip the arch...and thats the problem as they get older, they dont seal aswell allowing more and more crap and moisture into the arch lip area as time goes on.

Yup did mine the other weekend - my drive is mud and stuff and they were FULL of cack. As above, packed the seals with waxoyl, cleaned out the arches and gooped them back into place.

Thanks for the advice! This is a very good example of prevention is better than cure - Wax oil is your friend here. Used it on past cars and it extended the life of the car to no end!
