seems a common prob to be broken from sticking to the door , i see the molding on real , but i don't see the clips, do they come glued to it? or are you better off doing the double sided tape?

so, 16 in the pic? you have to buy the whole side of molding?

right where 14 is, there is a seam, but i don't see a clamp like that is stating, i may try and break the pieces apart as the only problem is the back curve
if i can break it apart , then use new clips and epoxy like you said

it isn't 16 , the clip behind the molding that's busted seems like it's two pieces , can you not get them without buying the whole molding?

hmm, unless mine are completely sheared off, all i have on car is that base h part, and they are tan
I went to the dealer, with the realoem page printed out, and the parts guy worked, fussed, and walked away for an hour. And, he is no spring chicken, this parts guy has been at his desk for over 20 years.
He ended up throwing a bunch of clips into a ziplock, charging me ten bucks, and saying ***8220;hope you get it***8221;.
On my car, that boomerang thing is in the trunk because its all bent out of shape and all the clips and remnants of clips are gone. It doesnt really bother me though, my car isn***8217;t showy but I do understand your frustration. I tried to sort this thing out and then gave up.

Standing by eagerly. I have the boomerang (sedan) but no glued clips nor clips on the car. Bought body-side clips from the dealer and used silicone adhesive to attach the boomerang. This proved only temporary.
Does appears an aluminum piece (anodized or painted black) should connect the front of the boomerang to rest of the rain channel. This may be key as other attachment points are far to the back. And in fact my initial repair was pulled out and back (though fortunately still attached). Looking for suitable aluminum to fashion the missing connector but nothing to date. Post back with thoughts, findings, and progress.
P.S. If anyone knows of DFW salvage yard with e46's, please PM. I have yet to find even one car.
