It is damn near impossible to remove that protective film they apply. No matter what I try, it is also removing the adhesive along with that film, making the clip useless. I've tried a razor blade, a pin, even a heat gun.

I sent LMC a nice email, but I really don't expect them do do anything. I sometimes wonder if the Chinese do these things intentionally, and sit over there just laughing at us

Here is what I'm dealing with

Yea they are sitting over there laughing. The stories I have heard from Union Guys when I was a kid in Detroit are no better.

Mar-K is good yet you have to be a craftsman to make it work also. I have seen some of their product installed from someone on the site and I see his frustration also.

Get the metal clips, you will be happyier in the long run.
