The end of it has to be fitted under the the top retaining pin,
Pull pin back out, push spring down, push pin back in.
Hope this helps

It might have. They don't normally ping back out.

Looks like all it needed was a little bit of "persuasion" as its now in place thanks guys!

Ive pulled on it just to make sure, but what would happen if it came off whilst driving????? (its made me worry abit now!!!)
