    I know, and I provided a link to show you what they are. The small parts are supposedly not clips. It does say there's only two clips in a package, but there's 4 parts. Not sure what those are for. I just bend the big ones shut a little so their tight, and clip them on. Had to figure out how to do that on my own. There was no dang instructions!

    The long piece fits underneath the plastic frame, while the clip fits over the edge of the screen frame. It might take a bit of moving clips around to find the best spot as you are basically wedging them against silicone caulk underneath the plastic rim.

    Not really. I don't even use the small piece. Don't need it.

    You really don't. Ive never used the little things. Just the actuall clips.

    I used to have a lid like that, but never knew about clips. I just bent the lid, so I fit REALLY tight. But do the clips.

    Awesome. Make sure it still fits tight, both the lid and the clips.

    Those are the ones I used. Not great, but not bad. Took forever to figure them out, and I still think I as doing it wrong
