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!

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