They need anti-seize lube on the threads. Also, I would not use power tool/ impact drivers to tighten them, they not only can over torque them, they spin too fast which causes the bolt threads to gall. Check with S Flex, I believe they are using a coating on their hardware now that alleviates the galling.

Aloha Bill,
They tend to freeze up out here in the middle of the pacific once they sit for a few years.

    James,
    Glad you received at least one potential source for product, so far.
    With all due respect, why do you need to replace the clips?
    Any take away for others so as to not have this same issue?
    Thanks,

    Aloha Wrenches,
    Does anybody know where I can get Haticon mid and end clips? The
    lead time with my distributors here is not feasible with my
    schedule.

    I believe we need 40mm and 31 mm ends.

    These are for old installs where the customer is re-roofing and
    we need to remove and re-install the arrays. (Canadian Solar and
    SolarWorld modules)

    Mahalo,
