Chris was kind enough to donate some spare tape to help me affix the glass operation panels to my units, it arrived a few days ago. Thanks to him, we may press onward straight through to the end!

The screws are insterted through the back.

The nuts drop down into 3 little holes in the very back groove.

The plastic inner tray is secured on the back with 3 screws and 3 square nuts. This may seem out of sequence, fastening the tray after the lid is installed. But, I think it allows for good gap adjustment and can be tightened when everything is lined up well.

The lid simply slides down the the length of the hinge and the ends snap in place to secure it.

Before the lid can be put on, the Gram's hinges must be raised. Only the right side is motor driven and the unit will need to be powered on to get it in the upright position. The inner tray does need to be put on first, it simply drops on over the hinges.

Once uncovered, the lid is flipped over so the CD clamp can be reinstalled. Warning! For those of you who are thinking about doing this, do not replace the screws for the clamper into the lid by themselves. Without the clamper, the screws will actually push up on the underside of the aluminum top. This can potentially damage your surface.

After final spray and drying in a covered area to prevent imperfections, the lid can be unwrapped and be ready to be put back together. The paint has greatly improved the surface consistency and hidden all of the major dents along the peak in the middle.

Here is the Gram unwrapped and ready for reassembly. Only imperfection I have found is the small vertical bit of over spray on the front corner.

WOOOO Mr. Hoogkamer! Congrats And i'm off to work!
