Be careful, but they can be removed

On the W123 I am working on I have a new set with the car, but I was wondering also, how to install them. So on my old car, that I am parting out, I removed the best one, just for practice. Those strips come off pretty hard, but I think it you start at either end you can remove them by popping them off each mounting clip with a wide based gasket remover. On the car I am working on, they have been removed from both side and the clips are still on, but I don't see how they could be put on, (the new strips) without new clips. I am seriously thinking of using that automotive adhesive from Autozone called "goop". I find it a wonderful adhesive.
