When you say new clips do you mean for the rack bellows?

you swapping the rack over then mate?
did I see you had noticed one of the rack boots was torn? maybe that's the cause if a load of shite has been able to get in there.
Certainly a wierd problem though, which considering all the guff that has been replaced on the car, you wouldn't expect
Happy bed time reading that folder of receipts isn't it! £Â£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£

Don't think they are "locking" just nipped up with a bolt. Can't you get the rack off without taking them off?
