    I wasn't reaching for a sledge yet, but man I feel that pain. I thought about intentionally breaking each connector and zip tying each one. Pesky little clips ain't enough to describe these pain in the azzez 😁 I don't care how many hands u get in there, they are a pain. Plastic being heated up to 150 degrees plus under the hot sun with engine running then down to 0 in the winter these plastic clips feel super britte and stiff
