Lift the metal carabiner clip from the speaker housing.
I’ve looked online and can’t find a place to buy the replacement clip. Any tips?
Yea, me too. I’m glad I know how to replace it now but where do I get the part???
Agree. Showing how to replace a part when no replacment part is available is not at all helpful.
Has anyone found this part yet? I have 2 of these speakers that need a new clip!
Another option is to remove the clip altogether as it is not fixable. Works fine without it!

Thanks, but unless I missed something I don't see the recommended battery to replace with (only that it's a 1000mAh). Under "what you need" there's no mention of battery.
Amazon and others sell them. Just Google "JBL Clip 3 battery for sale". Price varies widely.

Thank you - very helpful guide! Was able to replace my battery with no issues.
What can I use to create a new waterproof seal?
Is this the same process as for the JBL Clip 4?
