   Have you tucked the top lip of the doorcard over the top channel of the door?

   Have the same problem mate. Ive tried ebay clips and official citroen clips and it still pops off. Strange thing is its only my passenger side at the bottom near the speaker area - the drivers side is fine.

   Right you know the little holes/trays for putting stuff in maps etc?sometimes & I found this out the otherday that putting a drinks bottle or can in there does actually bow/warp the doorcard.So you end up with a doorcard pushing away from the clips.

    mine will NOT go over that i swear lol, had to leave it just below as no matter how hard i force it, it simply refuses to go up and over, so now my passenger door is hanging off slightly
    
    nicked about 20 clips from the scrappers to try help, but these are all now broken

    It will go over the lip lol,patience is needed thats probably why the clips are reaking because they aren`t lined up with the oles in the door.Lower the doorcard down from the door mirror end,pity you aren`t closer i`d come and do it for you.
