I have never been able to use those clips with the boot seal. You get a few on, thinking you are winning then the rubber slips off.
I end up gluing the strip on. And the clips are quite expensive, too.

The best way I found to put them in was with a 90 degree spot weld chisel. That was after I destroyed a lot and the seal other ways.

Yes. But considering everything you've been through, this would have seemed an 'easy' job!
