Hi, I'm unable to take the old one out and how can I put the new one in place?

Can I take out the cover on the new one?

Hello,

The installation screws for the original operator are most likely hidden below the wood trim sill cover on the window. So if you cannot see the screws, you will need to remove the wood trim sill cover (be careful not to damage the trim when you remove it).

Also, the operator has a clip bracket that attaches to the window sash itself. You can 'un-clip' this bracket with a screwdriver.

If you get stuck, send us some pictures of your progress and we will try to walk you through it.
