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.

I wonder what would cause the clips to break after 1000 miles of driving. They'll usually break on installation. Important to enusre the trim snaps in on every clip, which is easy to test. Curiious...which piece of the trim lifted up first? Sometimes the rubber spacer block on the bottom can prevent the trim from fully clicking in. If your bottom piece came out first, I'd suspect that.
