But it may be a problem trying to get it to fit in such a tight location. I decided not to go that route as I wanted to see that the boot hadn't moved out of place. When I use a yogurt cup, I slide it past where the ring needs to be installed, slide the ring on, then pull the cup out as I put on the ring. If the boot would have moved, the ring would seat with the boot out of position. Surprise!
I didn't damage the boot, but it sure was frustrating. Maybe I can find a CLEAR yogurt cup for the other side...

Cheers,
