Hey Michael. If by clips you mean the zip strip on the rubber straps it's best to cinch them down as much as possible when you're attaching your bikes to the Benton ShiftShow Bike Rack item # B94FR. You'll want to make sure the latch is fully locked in too. Other than this there's no additional way to tighten them.
How heavy are your bikes and what kind of roads are you traveling on when the clips aren't holding?
