replaced recently. Trim does not rust so just recoat the trim if it needs it
(there was a spate of mail on this before) and buy new clips when you get
your boot lid back.

I have some spray on stuff that a pilot friend gave me-(he's a Spitfire
owner-but really-he's a pilot too!) Anyway, he said that if you spray this
along the inner edge of the trim, wipe off the access and the stuff that
gets down between the cracks protects from rust. He swears by it!

I don't remember the name-it's down in my storage bin.
