Achim, yes - I'm sorry to tell you but rotating the cover is the only proper
solution. (You should have marked the position of the cover before taking
the unit apart - a lesson which I learned the hard way myself!)
And removing the front seat makes the job a little bit less of a nuisance,
depending on your age.....
