When I bought my IS a month ago, it was missing one, and 2 were broken, so I bought some from sewell, to replace them. It was just bugging me to see some missing. Haha

Also missing one. Everytime I go in for service I ask "what can you do for me here" and the hole is still unfilled.

All are in place, but they are a mix of the older (original) and the newer (replacement for broken ones) style of clips.
