<div><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><span class="yiv9300834134562041813-28082015">Removal - its been a long time since I looked at this -
here is a guide but be careful in case I forgot a step</span></font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><span class="yiv9300834134562041813-28082015">1st
you have to get that part off the door - at least 2 screws - don't force it or
the finisher will break - look for more screws if it seem
stuck</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><span class="yiv9300834134562041813-28082015">Remove
the glass channel run felt</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><span class="yiv9300834134562041813-28082015">Now
there is a series of small screws in pairs - flat blade - at least 6 screws
and at least 1 small "L" bracket</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><span class="yiv9300834134562041813-28082015">Careful with the small screws - you don't want to break
the screws or strip the heads</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><span class="yiv9300834134562041813-28082015">2

<div><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><span class="yiv9300834134562041813-28082015">Finisher should come off the glass now - be very

<div><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><span class="yiv9300834134562041813-28082015">Now
the glass has to be carefully wiggled and pulled out</span></font></div>

see.</span></font></font></font></div>
