Darn it....I need to get back to the dealer and exchange these.

 

to be fair dude, when we follow a posted "how-to" on the forum, its usually relatively safe to bet its accurate. not many people look through the next 8pgs of postings for someone to finally say that the indicated method of opening the clip was wrong all along.

and yes, $20 for two dime-sized plastic clips is ridiculous, considering some little kid in china made it out of 3 cents of materials in 7 seconds.
