CU2 - Windscreen trim - One use only ???

Hi All.
I have recently had the windscreen replaced in my 2013 Accord Euro Luxury. The vehicle has slim body coloured mouldings / cover strips down both sides of the windscreen against the A pillars. The chap who fitted the windscreen said a couple of the attachment clips broke when refitted and he thought these were a single use item.
Has any one else had any experience with this issue. I didn't really want a dob of bodge holding my beautiful cars trim together.
Cheers and thanks in advance.
