I know exactly what you mean!!!
There is a tool that glass shops use called a "hook tool" the use this like a
carpenter uses a hammer.
It is basically a hook on a screwdriver handle but curved just so. I borrowed my
local glass shops hook to replace those clips you are talking about.
I have not seen a hook tool at local tool suppliers, then again I never remeber
to look when I'm out gazing at the tool section of Home Depot.
Patience and a few beers will make it all come together.
Good luck
