Worse, if you're not careful it can fall out of the cap and the parts will scatter.

The only part that has me guessing is that in the install video, the guy hits the cage in place with a rubber mallet..like is that really necessary? It doesn't click in on its own? Even after he hits it, it still wiggles as its probably supposed to, but it looks to me the mallet achieved nothing.
