you unscrew the two phillips head black screws on each side at the upper corners and down by the bottom corners. pull the old one out. then get ready for about an hr of beatin the heck out of your thumbs to put the new one in. you have to get the new one started in the middle on the top and work it in the two channels both ways. then you apply the little dab of black gooey stuff on the corners and put the screws back in and your done. its the getting the top part to go into both the little tiny channels that is a pain. and if you use anything other than your thumbs to push it in there you may rip the new one. set aside a cople hrs to do this and it is not that difficult.
