Thanks for the quick responses, Jim and Bob!  Alright, I can see how this
works, now my question is do I tap the peg all the way in once I've
installed the clips into the holes?  Or do I just leave the peg sticking out
a bit and have the trim end up pushing it in?  I tried both methods, and in
most of my holes it's actually too hard to push the peg in all the way
before I even attempt to put the strips on.  So I'm thinking I may have to
drill out the holes a little as you suggested, I'll probably go out tomorrow
and get a bit.  The thing is when I push really hard to try to get the peg
in, the sheet metal either starts to bend, or I have to use so much force
that it can't possibly be right...
