They look like generic clips found on every gas strut- probably worth 25p. Assuming its the same as the Cayenne, you can get a flat screwdriver and just ping it off or slide it away- you can see the groove it sits in.

Mine too, not as bad, 3.5 years old, will photo, then add the dope that eats the rust and leaves a black finish, pending OPC comments, or hammerite seems a good idea too.

Yep I have exactly the same problem (2018 SD) - the clips really should be galvanised or painted. Damp is bound to access this area and corrode. I am afraid just another example of what I did not expect from Porsche!! I do hope I can find the replacement clip as they look easy to slide out but I am afraid that will be the last straw See my vitriol on leaking sunroof - still an issue after 4x warranty returns!

Looks like clips used to be available when it was previously discussed.
