Just wait. I've had to replace mine twice already.  :yesnod:
Perhaps the repro ones are made of a thinner plastic, but mine split on the edge where it sits in the hole. It was fine for about a year, then split again.  :brickwall:

And or a cheaper plastic.  Seems like some of the original ones have to be chiseled out to remove them.

The easiest way to get them out is to soften them up with a heatgun first.

I'll be trying that maneuver to get the 2nd one in.

ok but be gentle with the heatgun or you'll be scraping it up with a spatula.

Heatgun..........not to be confused with a Blow wave (hair dryer).  :icon_smile_big:

Blow wave? :scratchchin: Where are you from again? :nana:

Well, I got the plug from Steve today (thanks again, man :bow:) I heated it up with my heat gun and popped it into place carefully around the lip instead of in the middle like before. Went right in.
