Cheers, Gilly.

After looking at the door panel again, the above seems likely.

Are the plastic tabs easily available from MB (or elsewhere) if they are snapped?

Edit - just noticed you once had a Frogeye Sprite. I had a '58 when I was a teenager, back in the 80's. Great fun, rust finally killed it though!
