hi..
if you were here in my shop working under my direction ..
I'd make you figure it out ..
it really is very, very simple.

tip ..hook the forward upper ends first....... hinge area 2nd.
tip 2 ..one bar is for the left side, one the right.
it's impossible to put them in wrong even, at least that I've ever found.

you just wanted an excuse for more attention !

I don't think there's a picture in Bentley .
