Any idea how those pads/seals were fit over the pins of the clip?

Just slide them on. Easier when the rubber is not 70 years old. 😉

Edit: here we go, new seal 😃

Is there a slot between the holes?

No slot, just stretch the seal over the tips of the clip. These little seals are a simple bit of preventative maintenance.

A couple steps closer!

Fender repairs are ready for primer. (I think I'm going to use Eastwood's OptiFlow roll on epoxy primer.) Dura-Block was recommended for sanding, so I picked one up. A bit pricey for a sanding block, but I found it worked quite well.

Trim clips sandblasted and coated with POR-15.

Stainless steel straightened and polished. I like digital pics for stuff like this, makes it look better than it actually is! LOL
