Not really a clip...just a locator pin.

Hi Art,
As you know, those little nubs usually break off when you remove the trim from JY car. I recently got a couple and was surprised that one "locator" came out intact.

I was even more surprised when I saw it had a little "one-way-barb" on each side, which should have locked the strip to the door — so in that sense they are clips.

I can see the need for the locators when applying the strips to the car, and can only guess that the locking "barbs" are there to retain the strip if/when the tape lets go, as it sometimes does.
