So today my clips broke while driving and my 1000 mile new trim came flying up. What is the story with these clips. I wish they were made of steel. My 1st 914 had steel ones and they were great. Is one source better than another? They are waaay to brittle.

happened to me years ago when I did not replace the clips when installing new windshield chrome, blew off and a truck ran over it.
