You did squeeze the center correct so they stay in the holes? Not being an *** just making sure. The hole is pretty big that they slide into, so ensuring a good squeeze on that center ear is a must.

Yea some of the repop ones suck I have heard. I was able to save the originals on mine.

I know this is an old thread, but just went through this and wanted to add my 2 cents. The repops are junk and break super easy, BUT I found the trick to making them work! The repop metal is hard which is why they are breaking. If you take a propane torch and heat the repop clips cherry red and then let the slow cool, it anneals the metal making it soft and bendable like the originals. Works like a charm!!!!
