I think it's usual to remove the main window first - wind down, detach the
winder, (3 screws) slide lifter out of the channel under the window, remove
downwards and out.  the rear lower channel detaches too, and has an
s-shaped clip at the top out of sight that clips onto the outer scraper
frame.  You may need this off to get the window out - can't remember
exactly.
Lever the felt channel from top of opening - channel u-clips have tags on
the back that clip into holes in the aluminium trim and door channel.
These are quite tight and have backwards pointing teeth to make removal of
the felt channel difficult.

The inner scraper unclips (wire clips into holes).  Then the vent wing
frame slides backwards from the top and can be lifted out.

Take special care of the outer scraper frame - you can put new rubber in
it, but you can't get a replacement metal part.

If you can get a scrap door and see how it goes, you will find it very
helpful!

I'm trying some software that says it will make an editable HTML of a page
with pictures etc in one click - I'll try to see if the factory manual
responds to this treatment!

Later:
Well, I've now re-booted the machine on the reset button so I'll try again
later from a different direction!
