I feel so frustrated after 15 minutes trying to get the flipping trim back on that I thought about buying pulling the 4 clips from the car and buying new clips. I think those clips are one-way, and once you pull them out, they cannot be reused. With the new clips, I can slide them into the rails first before putting them on the car.

Yup, that's what I did most of the time. The clips are very cheap to buy from the dealer and the existing ones are very hard to remove! You will still have to remove the existing clips though, and in my experience the top part sometimes breaks off, leaving the rest of the clip in the hole with no way of pulling it up. The only option then is to push it through the hole. This is not a good thing, because there is no way to retrieve it after that and it will just rattle around in your car forever. Be very careful when removing them!
