It's tight enough that it might not go in,I've tried twice.I'm going to try prying the edge out a little and see if that works.

Get the trim tool from college hills Honda....costs about 8 bucks. It's basically a very strong, fine tip, (but rounded so not to cut) tool to help you pry between the 2 pieces of plastic. I was able to find a similar tool in the cutlery drawer. (teaspoon measurer). I used 1 to pry plastic open and 2nd an inch or so away from the first to keep a little space. Even with the tools, you have to be patient. The pipping is tight and takes a bit of work to get in properly.

The only thing that bothered me was when you cut the end it looks a bit square and there is a small hole at the end in the oval part. This needs to have something the same color put inside. I will post pics of what I mean tonight.

Yeah I agree. I tried a few different cuts to finish the end but I never was satisfied.
