Hi All,
Im struggling to fully clip in the corners after taking out a panel to measure for a replacement. Any suggestions on techniques to use?
Thanks in advance

I normally cover trim with masking tape so they don't mark and hit with a rubber mallet.
You want them to slide when clipped in or you get the problem you're having..
Trim needs to slide up a bit.

I use silicone spray but you can use a bit of soap
You might find that the angle you offer up to put in is incorrect. I've had this many times as well. When you get it worked out it's easy..
 
Thanks Wayners, much appreciated! Do you clip in then slightly higher up then shirt it down? Then the same at the top?
