Tip from BA/Cory in the meantime: Use clippers to remove the tabs. As a company BA is awesome because you care about your product and your customers. Sometimes products aren’t quite what you want and need tweaking. I believe you will get there. I’m updating my review from 1 star to 3 because while the lids aren’t right you guys are the best!!!!!! Note: BA did not ask me to change or update my review. (Original review: The lids are too tight/very difficult to snap around the metal trays both in putting them to stack on each other and off to load tray to FD. Keeping in mind frozen plastic is more brittle, being careful I still broke a plastic snap part off on one. I really wanted these to work and like the idea but they are too difficult to get on and off. I’m disappointed and feel it’s a matter of time before the rest of the latches break off at points.)
