That is a very good tutorial which helped me in the past. One thing I would add from experience is that what he calls the "middle plastic cover" can be a bit tough to remove. You feel like you are going to break it. I just spread out/widened the side edges slightly for the middle plastic cover's end that is oriented closest to the big round cover, raised it just slightly and then pulled downward in the direction toward the base of the windshield. Steady pressure is the key. It will finally pop. You might want to add a little lubricant to the hooks (revealed when it comes free) to make it easier next time.

My $.02,
Doug
