Couple of days ago, I removed my front grill to get it plastidipped. Today the grill went easily back in but now the problem is getting the weatherstrip back on. I probably spent 30 min. trying to figure out how the get the tiny holes on the weatherstrip to hook onto the clips. Am I suppose to take out the clips first? and if i'm suppose to, how to do go about doing that? I've tried using pliers but I feel if I apply any more force, those clips will break and snap.

They are tricky to get out but I used some pliers to pull the clips out. Then it's pretty easy to get the clips back into the holes in the weather strip.

So you just yank 'em straight out? Are you bending them in an angle to or anything?

I just wiggled them back and forth as I pulled straight up and they came out.

I didn't pull the clips out. Assume you're standing in the middle of the front of the car staring at the grille. The clips looks like T's. Start on the right side of the grille. What I did was hook the left end of the T (the nearest side to the center of the car) into the hole on the bottom of the weatherstripping, then stretch the weatherstripping out and over the right end (the farther side from the center of the car) of the T. I don't remember exactly, but I may have used needlenose pliers or the end of a flat-head to hold the clip in place and/or stretch the hole out on the bottom of the weatherstripping to fit the T tab in.

This took a couple tries but nowhere near 30 minutes.

I just squeezed the bottom of the clips and pulled them out, then it's easy to put them into the weatherstrip and pop back in. Alternatively, you can get them back on without pulling the clips out, I've done it a couple of times before as well. The method Calvin explained works relatively well.

Yes, you can get just the clips.
