Have you twisted yourself into a pretzel trying to install the rings? In
order to affect a successful installation of the TR6 rings you must place
your body in such a way that passersby believe:
A - you are attempting to consumate a true marriage of man and machine.
B - You are a drug addict hallucinating that paradise is inside your
headlamps if only you can lick your way within.
C - You have spent too much time reading "A cask of Amontillado" and are now
confusing the front of your car with a brick wall that must be clawed apart
if ever you are to live.

Any lesser effort will not succeed.

I recently replaced the buckets and gaskets on my TR6 headlights. I now find
that I can't install the trim rings too well. The new buckets are from TRF
and include the notches at the top and a receiver for a pinning screw. The
ring appears to be unable to move down enough to engage the notch. I suspect
I could crimp the trim ring inner edge or trim the rubber gasket away from
the notch.

Any suggestions?
