Did this repair on Monday afternoon. In my case, the clip was not broken, instead the regulator anchor piece shattered and the cables had unwound. I replaced the clip anyway, since the one that was in there crumbled a bit.

All in all, not a bad repair job. I'm sure it helps that I'm in AZ and it was about 115* or something so taking the vapor barrier off was super easy. Took me about an hour to get it replaced. The hardest part was that stupid bolt in the clip, I kept dropping it.

Considering how easy this was, I would definitely recommend replacing them pro-actively and just getting them out of the way.
