Squeeze the springy piece with needle nose pliers and push the flattened "ears" toward the back bumper. You might have to do get one side seated first, then the other. It is not an easy thing and will porbably take serveral tries.
I know this because I pushed them into my Roadster ... without trimming the rubber. Didn't read that that was necessary until after the catch was installed.
(Just think how fast that guy on the assembly line must have been at sticking that sucker in there!)
