Can get pretty much the same thing for cheaper.

I had to use a fair bit of pressure with mine to get it in, and I did it on a cold day, so was a tighter fit. May be worth putting it in the airing cupboard a while, might make it that bit more pliable.

That is what the Haynes manual says to do to fit a new grill! The Haynes manual is well worth investing in.
