Default Windscreen Trim problem

I had to have the windscreen changed on the scoob today, it was leaking badly, the chap that fitted it broke some of the clips for the trim across the top of the screen & instead of replacing them he's tried (and failed) to glue it back in place. Inside the car he's managed to get sealant on the a-pillar plastic trims & damage the head lining.

no as you can imagine I'm pretty livid & I don't really want him touching my car again.

can i renew the clips myself or will the screen have to come out again?

I'll try and post a pic when it stops raining (if it ever stops )

you can get the clips, although there are 3 different types, i got a few of each and mannaged to get them lined up and the strip should pop in to place ok.

thats on a classic ant way

Actually newage screens/trims are far easier to do..! The only clips are on the lower/wiper cowling, which hardly ever break if you're careful..
