Use the tweezers to fit a hinge pin, inserting it from the outside and with the ribbed tip left exposed like this Now push the pin in fully. Use the back of the tweezers if necessary. Repeat for the other pin. 43 Your assembly should look like this.

4 Fit the stopper to this recess, with its tip seated in the circled notch. Use superglue to affix the front hatch to its inner face, via the circled lugs. Your assembly should look like this Place the loop at the end of the first spring onto the hook at the side of the hatch stay.
