The easy way to do the mod is to use a hot knive (soldering iron).
Cut a slot around the pinch weld on three sides (u-shape).
Use a heat gun to soften the plastic.
Pull the plastic tab back to expose the pinch weld.
Sledge-hammer the pinch weld flat.
Spray the area with paint (coz it will have flaked off).
Heatgun the plastic flap and mould it so it goes flat.
Heatgun the now flattened flap over the 'hole' in the liner and plastic weld the hole.

This is how i did mine and it worked well.
By bashing the pinch weld doesn't it throw something else out? that little thing looks pretty solid..
