Pry the clips off the car, use double sided 3M tape to attach them to the trim (you'll see where they were) and snap them back in place on the car. Easy peasy once you know how it comes apart and goes together.
I had to deal with this problem because the people that replaced my windshield ... ahem .... buggered the job! They used windshield adhesive to hold it together until I drove off. Real shady, but they didn't have a clue how the clips worked either. Hope this helps.

The trim tool is pried against the glass, correct?
Does the trim pry against the centre of the trim clip or one end of the trim clip?
Not having a good photo of the assembly it is hard to figure out the relationship of the clips to each other.
The trip clip nestles under the top lip of the trim strip?
