What a stupid design. Apple should give you a refund :)
If you can manage to get the fuckin rubber rails back in place do this:
apply talcum powder to the rails (not alot just enough to coat them) and then
try sliding the drive in place.
Ive mounted countless bike tires with talc to let the rubber tube slide on
metal rim easier.
