Good evening Tools. Honda calls the chrome ring on top of the gator boot a rib. I think I saw you mention this was a PIA to install.  How does it work...pressure? I am looking at my bike and they appear to have never been touched. Presently they sit on top of the rubber gator. Gator slips over a lip of headlight ear, very bottom and chrome rib appears to be decorative. Does it slide over top of rubber gator? This bike is original and they, the chrome ribs are not holding the rubber. They really appear to be cosmetic.
Thanks and sorry for all the questions this week.
Karl

The rubber gator is sandwiched between the fork ear, and the ring. You just kind of force them together. Some silicone spray helps to lubricate the parts.
