Thanks for the tip Nigel, I'll give that some thought although I think I've sorted it for now. The clip is a D-Type Edge Trim Clip and I've found some on evilBay but in nylon which is much less likely to damage paint. £10 for a pack of 25 is worth a punt but the dimensions aren't quite perfect I suspect it might do the job! I may finish the installation by Sikaflexing the clips into the trip before I fit it.

The original plastic surround doesn't cover much of the metal flange and it gives a return edge for the windscreen sealant to creep under further securing the screen. Tim Weston told me about losing a rear screen once....
