I just got done replacing all the rubber mounts on my side covers, and will use the Vaseline method to give it the suppleness for insertion... reminds me of the old adage...

Yes too right, but it depends on which hole you are inserting into 1st, if its the rear & you get it in without the Vaseline you know someone else has been in there before... :o
