I used an exacto knife to pull the original threads of the strap end out so I could remove the clip without cutting the strap. I then threaded the new clip in as shown above, but also folded back the end of the strap to its original sown point, and then used a heavy duty stapler with a 3/8" staple to staple the fold in place. This keeps the strap from coming undone from the clip - same as originally installed.
