How does the seal suppose to be secured on the tab? I bought both the grill and tab seal from WW. It fit loosely on the tab.

For installation of the grill, should i bend the tab 90 degree? It would be even near to impossible to put the seal on flatten tab.

The tabs are twisted to lock the grill in place.

Thank you. Any idea how to fit the "witch hat" seals? Glue them?
