While doing some maintenence work on the DMC doors, I noticed the window trim panels were a bit loose. Close inspection showed the 'christmas tree' studs were a bit shot so I pulled them carefully out of the trim and found Halfords do a very similar one in their accessories section HFX 343 (trim panel buttons), price code H at £2.15 for 15. These are about 1/4 longer than the DMC originals, but the head is very similar in manufacture, I had to cut the outside edge off one side too, as the originals. Reglued the outer covering and theyre as good as new. A quick sort out and saves hunting around trim suppliers for identical buttons. 8)
