[QUOTE="JoeAsheville, post: 10647096, member: 4116"] It seems that nobody puts the rubber parts back in the anti-rattle clips anymore. They are not bonded to the old clips and can be re-used. They are expensive and hard for your parts guy to find at the Ford dealership. You do NOT want to throw them away. As far as that goes, anything spring steel like these anti-rattle clips just lose primary tension over time (and over repeated heat/cool cycles), but do not permanently deform. Just keep your old black original clips, bend them out (or re-tension them, your preference) and re-install. The Cobra pads need a lot of tension on those clips when re-installing, to avoid rattling. Been there, done that, got the keychain and the t-shirt...many, many years ago. [/QUOTE]
