You may already know this, but on hard to align lids, here is a tip.  
Put the lid in place and turn counter-clockwise until you feel a click 
(the threads aligning).  Then turn clockwise.  This works for all types 
of large threaded devices that don't align nicely.  I use this skill 
regularly on large peanut butter containers and the very oversized 
Costco animal cracker plastic jar.

I have a replacement, likely from TRF and never noticed a problem.
