Do you by any chance have sidesteps? A recurring problem if you have.
I was quite astonished when shown how to put theses back on - the chap just kicked them!! Works well, but I've been using a soft faced hammer instead. Replacing the clips does not stop them falling off again
Ice or mud on the step pulls them off, as does the step bending upward when off-road. However, better than damaging a door! A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill.

Just give them a firm thump with your fist, clips right back in.

The new clips I fitted lasted only until the next encounter with piles of mud on the steps.
I'm begining to thing that this is actually a clever bit of design. If they did not come off so readily the door would get damaged by the mud/ice/bent step.
