You might have already seen these, but if not, here is a pic of an original clip. These are the factory style mounting clips (spring steel with the foam seal around the center). I have not found these in reproduction anywhere yet, probably because very few of us are going to reinstall these moldings. I want to install my moldings, but I'm hesitant to use these clips because they are one-time use only; they break when removed; I know, I tried one! It seems impossible to compress the center portion in order to remove it and that was without the molding in place, just the clip. The plastic ones might flex outward a bit too much, but let us know how they work out!
