(the four part numbers are 986-561-560-01, 986-561-670-03, 986-561-559-01, and 986-561-669-03... neither part included the four push pins... so I've got to look them up, and replace them. The top will hold the parts in place temporarily, but having the pins in there guarantees a little security)
Super helpful info. I’m still shopping around and considering doing it myself. Not sure if the parts need to be replaced as none of the YouTube videos highlight breaking but I don’t rule out needing to replace them. This definitely makes me consider doing it myself because I’d be worried a shop might not properly repair or replace any parts that get broken on removal or install. Has anyone experienced this issue?

Also still waiting for a call back from an installer who is discouraging German A5 and says to go with Twillfast presumably because the install is a bit easier. How does Twillfast really hold up? My OEM too is decent after 23 years so I’m inclined to go with German A5 or German A5 acoustic to keep the same OEM look and feel.
