Thanks for this... When you mentioned "clip positions" i realized i must be doing it wrong...I've only used the Fairchild kit on my 88. I had similar trouble until I realized the the inner-outer and passenger-driver are all SLIGHTLY different clip positions. So close that it'll start but enough off that it wouldn't fully seat. Maybe you have the same problem?
It's good to note that even after I figured that out, they were still extremely difficult to install without breaking anything.
Sure enough, I was sliding the clips over the top sill, but there are holes on the backside to receive them.
it's so counter intuitive
Now to figure out why they're popping off, when i roll the windows up.
it's a tight fit against the glass (which is good), and i probably stretched the clips too much when i was installing them wrong.
