Four of the clips are slightly longer therefore they go in the holes that are slightly deeper. I believe the deeper holes were in the lower channel if I remember correctly. What I did was install all clips where I thought they should go. Then I temporarily placed the windshield gasket in place. Then I test fitted the molding to make sure all fit correctly. I had to bend my clips some because they put entirely too much tension on the molding. Then when everything checked out I removed the molding and installed the windshield.
