I had the same thing happen this spring so I took a piece of soda can and
folded it over several times and put it around the tab with the hole in it
and planned on doing a better fix when I got home. I have not done the
better fix which was to use some light gauge Stainless steel but the soda
can has been doing fine all summer...
