2003 Front Brake Pad Clip - Chuckiec
In replacing the front brake pads, I see the new pads have this interesting clip on outside of outer pad. As the previous set didn't have the clip, I'm unsure where/how this clip is supposed to be used. Does it just sit there? Is it supposed to wrap around the caliper in some way? Any insight?

2003 Front Brake Pad Clip - Snakey
Isn't that clip used to mount the pad to the piston (i.e clips into the piston recess)?

Most pads I've used in the last 5 years seem to have had them
