95 dx hatch.

the plastic clips that go inside the roof rail to hold the stripping down.

I dont know how else to explain it, but i dont see how they stay put.

It should slide rite in. Set it about 3-4 inches away from the top of your windshield. Slide up and push down. It should clip on with no problems.

Just space them evenly apart from each other along the rail.
