give it a proper cleaning/painting or just replace it.

I see the clips and what not, but when I press one in, and move to the next one, the first one pops back in.

Thanks,

It literally takes 3-5 minutes. Just compress the clips and push out.

Default use a bunch of thin butter knives to hold the ones you've popped out in place

it's a bit of a b!tch, but butterknives ftw!
