Replacing the plastic gears is pretty straight forward and Pelican has a good tech article on the procedure. There's probably a dozen YouTubes too.
Tip: I bought the cheapest gears I could find on eBay thinking that they were all the same. Bad decision. The left and right side gears are supposed to be angled in opposite directions. The ones I received were marked Left and Right, but both angled the same. I didn't find out it was wrong until after I had the top all back together. Buy from a place like Pelican, ECS, or FCP Euro (I don't think actual dealerships sell them).
