Plastic clips deform on insertion but generally work

Due to design and plastic properties ("plastic deformation" - yes, I'm an engineer [mechanical builder]), plastic clips will deform when you get a tight fit hole for this plug. At the base of the clip to the fork body you can see that the plastic is starting to turn white where it will flex inward ("plastic deformation") to retract the clips which then "spring back" to hold it in place and to hold place; However, when deformation occurs, they don't align as much as they used to. Here's the thing: This style of clip construction would be ideal with a thin metal clip or a spring loaded hinge at the base of the plastic clips, but the value for money isn't to be faulted. The main issue to be aware of is that this can't be reused after a few times unless the hole you cut is tight (the edges touch the clips near their base) so measure the distance between the bases of the clips at about 3/8 way. high and cut such a wide hole for better reuse. If I were to buy them again and don't plan on removing the cover plate from the dash (or whatever surface I'm mounting them to) I would buy them again. to know these questions.
