I am trying to replace one of the clips that holds the lower grille, and cannot get these aftermarket clips to pop into the rectangular cutout. The other OEM clip will pop out and back in, but I have broken two and now rigged a third without being able to pop one of them in correctly. Have tried many different approaches, both with and without swearing, to no avail. Anyone know any tricks for getting these installed correctly? Thanks very much.

tricks to get them installed? no.. but I have taken metal tin tabs, trimmed them narrow, used a nail to punch a center hole, then folded them over the sheet metal slot / hole. this allows a screw to go in, and it captures the screen, with the tab n screw held in place so it cannot slide off / out.
