When I had to pull all that stuff off to change my wing window frames,
my old ones seemed fine, so I reused them on the right. On the left I
bought new ones (I somehow broke one taking the scrapers off) and they
seemed "springier". I don't see much difference between the 2 sides
though. Probably no reason to change them, but if I was dropping all
that on new scrapers and seals, I'd be tempted to drop an additional
$28 for new clips.
