Clock Retainer Clips

Does anyone have a picture or drawing of how they work? Mine are apparently missing. When I accelerate the whole clock starts to slide out. I am wondering how hard these clips are to install. Can you just take the little dial **** off the bottom of the clock and pull the whole thing out and put the clips in that way. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

You need to take the heater vents off and install behind the clock.

Or you could do what the PO did to my car. He just used 2 small pieces of rubber hose that he pushed over the pins. It seems to work perfectly.

take the glove box out and you can see the back of the clock. the pas side is easy the driver side you need small hands. but it can be done after the radio side pannel is off

Does the whole clock slide out or is it just the bezel coming loose?
Here are the clips.

Jack,
Yep, if the clips are gone the whole clock comes out, but what I was trying to determine by my question is whether he's missing the clips or the bezel has come loose from the case making it appear that the whole clock is loose.
