Default GM Bra install question

What is the procedure for attaching the top wheelwell snap.
Do you have to bend the tab and tuck it behind the fender ?
thanks
Dave

Dave - it also seems to help when the bra is warm. I throw it out in the sun for awhile, before I install, seems to stretch that extra 1/4 inch when needed.. My tabs are bent about 120 degrees to successfully slip into the edge of the front fender well.
