Default 1967 Glovebox light

Can anyone tell me if the metal part on the wire can be bent a little bit (like widen the span) so the wire and blub dont pop out everytime the glovebox door shuts - is there a trick... or do I absolutely have to buy a new socket?

The terminal may be distorted, but you have to install the terminal into the switch body BEFORE you install the bulb, or the bulb will pop out when you close the door.

Distorted - thats a better word than bent (bent doenst describe what I was trying to say. I think I will try un-distorting it later, for now I put in a new switch/socket.
