The secret to fitting these is to boil the kettle and soak the plastic for a few seconds in boiling water to "Soften" it.
This way you won't snap the little lugs that hold it in place [bigwhistle]

Thanks Trout1105!

Now that I'm armed with this knowledge, I'm contemplating another $7 investment to do it right.

Hopefully this helps another forum member in future.
