    Is it possible to replace just the trim retainer clips in a front windshield (or add more clips) or can this only be done when the gasket is being replaced?

    it's possible, the little studs in the frame can be reached with the gasket installed!

    Make sure you use factory clips if you can save them or find some. I wont get into my mental breakdown over aftermarket trim clips. LOL.
