Default windshield clips

I have a windshield clip/molding on the passenger side of my C2 windshield that is bent. Is this difficult to remove and reinstall? Where can I find a replacement clip in good condition? I do not see one in the Zip catalog.

Actually, fairly difficult to replace windshield molding clips. I recently had to replace a couple on my coupe. Remove windshield molding, windshield, existing clips, clean and prep area, install new clips, reinstall windshield and new rubber, reinstall windshield molding. BEWARE of cheap offshore made clips, they will not last. There are American made ones available, I believe at Paragon, and maybe elsewhere. Be advised, it's a lot of work, and but there are tutorials available online for direction.
