It will press fit the old clip into place and go through the hole in the window and lock in using the plastic square nut. $1.25 for a pack of 4 at your auto store did the job when I replaced the regulators on 2 of my windows.

Please do share the video you found on YouTube that uses the license plate holder screws! I assume it was in the video you found... If that's a better approach I will probably just do that the next time this thing breaks! :-)
