Depending on the price, I could be in for a few ones. On both 2100 I have, I
had to glue back one of the clip. They lost their flexibility and the door
doesn't always stay put.
One thing to remember is that in order to install those clips properly while
minimizing the risk of breaking them during the installation, it might be
necessary to remove the bottom case of the Newton as those clips seem to be
installed from inside the case, not from the outside. Just my personal,
limited observation...
