Thanks. Though it occurred to me after I uploaded it that the arrow is
going the wrong way: the tube should move into the clip on the wall, not the

Ahh, but you could be removing the tube and not installing it. In which case

But there must be loads of examples where the clip is on the moveable
part, and the tube is fixed.

Kick-boards and furniture carcase legs?
