I had 3 of my body clip retainers being broken for a while in my kraton and i decided to experiement with something today i used a 1mm drill bit and turned it by hand into the middle of the body clip retainer body and made pass a piece of rope 2 time trought the hole and to finish everything a tap of thin superglue and now it feels stronger than before

Hope it helps
 
i just put the clips through the hole in the rubber.
 
The best advice I can give for body clips is to spread them apart to loosen them. They come off way easier then and you don’t tear the rubber by yanking them with the effort needed to remove the stock ones.
 
I drilled out the post holes to 2mm as I was having a hard time fitting the clips. Also bent the clips to about 60deg.
