W116 Euro. How to replace Glass

I was selling a set of Euro lights and some one ask to see the reflectors. I was able to bend back the tabs with no problem. Then the glass came right out. Now I can't seem to get the tabs back tight to hold the glass properly and I need to get the lights shipped out. I've been fighting with them on and off all day! Any tricks??
Thanks in advanced

The tabs on the W116 Euros are suppose to be turned, not bent to remove the lens. Try bending them back without the glass installed and then install the glass the proper way.

Thank-you, I was wondering if I did it wrong. I'll give that a try.
Thanks again for your help.
