Any suggestions about how to install side molding when the regular molding clips don't hold?

When you say they won't hold, do you mean the door panels?

The aluminum doors are thicker than the fender and rear quarters.  You need to order the yellow or white clips which have a wider "notch" than the blue clips.

There is a great thread on this site specifying the difference.

If the fender and quarters won't hold, I'm not sure what your problem is.
