Hi Dave, I have merged this post with you're older thread for continuity.
This deflector came out of there, so it must go back in....the distance apart of the side frames can't change...because their joined by the engine deck rails....so it must be the method you're
using.
You insert it by sliding it in
straight with the front edge
parallel to the engine rails rolling it over and down until the 2 clips on the bottom of the deflector engage and clip onto the top edge of the soleplate....not like the pic you have posted, which is on an angle...it must be straight on. It should just about fall in.
You can see me re-installing one at precisely 11 minutes and 56 seconds into the video
HERE This will show you how to do it correctly, please let us know how you get on.
