Electric/Water cover flap

[Midaskev]

Hi. I wonder if anyone has fitted the above flap. These seem to be faulty and fly open. Mine did this and eventually flew away for good. I've now got a replacement cover flap and the fittings. The fitting came with 2 pins and 2 spring clips (I think that's what they are called). I can work out how to fit the pins but what are the spring clips for? I'd be very grateful if anyone knows and can pass on their wisdom. Also any tips on fitting please.

Thank you so much.

Hi Lisa, the spring clips wil be so the lid/flap stays down in the closed position.
You might have to wind the springs a little so they do thier magic and it might be a little fiddly.

Good luck.
