door panel reinstall

I've found a lot of post on removing the door panel, but none on reinstalling it. Removing it was easy, however I can't get it back on. I cant get it back on the metal clips at the top. What is the secret to get it back without breaking the clips. I've already broke 2 of them.....

ok.. found the problem. 2 of the little holes that the clips fit into had a small defect in them. just had to do a little trimming to enlarge the holes and it fit right back on. dont know how the factory got it on.
