When I originally installed the windshield - apparently two clips at the top center broke for whatever reason (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (aftermarket from a supplier we all use ).. I pulled the windshield about a month ago to replace the broken clips. I ended up replacing them all because I had an extra set of the aftermarket ones as I'd bought two sets for two cars before I knew these suck (most felt fine to use again tho, TBH), but yea will buy the Porsche ones from now on.

I know they need to be pushed in firmly, these were.. but you can see in my picture that, that particular clip has backed out a bit towards the glass. IF THE LITTLE CHEAP PEG HAS NOT BROKEN, I can probably push it back in and 'brace' it in place w/ more butyl. Fingers crossed that it works - cause slipping one in is out of the question, the whole glass has to come out.
