1967 Barracuda Hood to Cowl Seal RePro Installation help!

PITA it is!!!!

I popped the clips in then pressed the seal against to locate them on the seal. Removed the clips then installed them in the seal. They are to be crimped over to lock but they just wanted to break the tabs. Very frustrating! The tabs are hardened to much, I ended up getting more clips and using some Gorrila glue for extra holding power. Once installed you can not notice. Who made the seal you purchased?
