It's often called tadpole beading (because if the cross section). You can get it from places like Woolies http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/c-322-extrusion.aspx

To fix it you bolt through it i.e.: bolt-washer-wing-beading-bodywork-washer-nut

Hi, you don't have to take the arches of, just loosen all the bolts and then just slot the piping where it needs to go round them. Once you have tightened the bolts back up it won't come out, its how I fixed mine, not moved yet. HTH Ray
