I was also wondering about this. How do you fit both sides snugly together? On one side there's that little metal protrusion as pictured above, but on the other side there's a little metal rod that I can't seem to figure out how it goes.

Myi I did end up figuring it out eventually. For the benefit of those who may need these instructions in the future, I'll go thru the steps here:
would this work for replacing the top cover also?
is there a safer way to heat up the screen without risking any damage?
and what would i do if i snap one of the little tabs when pulling off the cover?
MacherCentral Yes top as well.
Use a very little heat or no heat to be safe.
Buy a new piece if you snap it. May have some to sell. Or check ebay or..
is the heat no necessary? theres something called a heating pad or heating mat im wondering if that would work without issues or also possibly cause damage
what is that piece called and around how much would they cost?
is there a instructional guide with pictures or a video on how to do this?
Thank you!
MacherCentral I don't know of any instruction or video guide.
Myi ok I will try to figure it out based on the instructions above. What about the heating pad? And what would those pieces be called?
Myi do you still have these tabs? or can you tell me what there called so i can check ebay? Thanks!
On the upper half. There Gray outer cover has a black half that has some tabs to keep the pins from popping out when the phone is opened and closed. While may who open a phone will end up snapping that tab and then reclose it. But it's preferred to put a new one. Phone will function for the time being with no issues without replacing. And then there's times when you don't end up snapping anything. Meaning it doesn't always snap off, it hard to open without snapping. But you may just be lucky.
Myi do you have a picture of this? where can they be purchased? Thank you!
MacherCentral what makes you think you need it?
Myi I plan on fixing a few and it sounds like it’s very common to break accidentally
