Hi mr whale
Sorry it's not that Clear I'm sure Ian has done a guide for that too.
You replace 10" long caps on each side for the one with cut outs, for the wires of the contacts with + and negative on.
I'll try and find the link to Ian's guide or take a pic
After removing the grab handles there is a tiny steel wire, the same as pedal bike gear cable, that you need to pull with some long nose pliers to relise the trim clips
Cheers dave
