For a square, the slots and tabs are all you probably have. There would have 
been little plastic sleeves over the tabs, but yours have probably rotted away 
by now. I sell little makeshift replacements, however, which will keep the tabs 
from being loose and rattling in the slots once they are in place. They're not 
pretty, but they work and don't show. There are a few listees who have tried 
them and can give you an opinion on whether they're adequate or not.  

It is tricky getting the tabs back into place, and for this you should lube the 
rubber and paint well with soap & water. Having a helper is probably a good 
idea.
