When you replace the clips in the sheetmetal, unless it's a warm day, they can break pretty easily. A Volvo body man told me long ago that he'd dump them in his hot coffee before installing. I just used hot water, and the break rate dropped dramatically. It also helps if you make a little driver out of a piece of 1"x 1" pine, with the working end drilled 1/8" deep and slightly larger than the clip's pin. No more hammer misses cracking the clip or dinging the body.
