Default Drip rail moldings paint failing

I am stuck parking my car on the street and the sun is starting to kill the paint on the drip rail moldings that run between the roof line and the side of the car. Has anyone replaced these? Looks like it is just a simple pop out and pop a new one back in. Any advice from anyone? Do I need to get the new clips as well or are the old ones reusable? Thanks

I replaced them on my 2008 SGM is 350. I ordered them from Sewell as they were quite a bit cheaper than my local dealer. The old ones just pop out with a little effort and the new ones will just snap back in place. Took just a few minutes to swap them out.
