Hi CC,

After a bit of practice, I've had no problems doing them back up with a set of plain square jaw pliers.
You have to hold the pliers vertical to the clips and they should go straight on.

This is on both a 916 TS GTV and a '91 164.

Can be a bit fiddly getting the pliers straight on, depending on location of clip and how much other stuff is in the way.

Cheers
Steve
