Hello. I would need to know if the problem is with the retainer clips on the pad mounts or the clips that go on the pads. Either way if the clips are being installed correctly and they will not hold it is typically because they are not the best clips for the vehicle. Most aftermarket clips will have issues fitting correctly onto this vehicle. You really should use Subaru clips or high quality clips.
