  • Repeatedly switch from using the pliers to fasten speed clip while holding screwdriver tightly, to screwing and holding down the speed clip with pliers. This will make the speed clip more secure.

  • Repeat this procedure for other 2 screws.
  • For your upper middle screw, you may need to bend or cut your own screw down
  • (This is because the screw hits the middle metal piece of your car when trying to reinstall, causing you not to be able to fully have your upper two tabs lock back into their slots)
