All right now, now it's time to give Wanda some of her dignity back. Her insides have been hanging out for all of us to see, but a little bumper guard assembly shroud will take care of that. This part here again spins around to make sure that if she gets caught anywhere well the out, the complete outside of her can get locked up, and she can spin 360 degrees, and shoot off in the other direction. So again, we're making sure that that's clear, that these have not jumped their tracks; that they're locked into place. All right, looking good, so it's ready to be happening, all right? So we're going to go ahead, and place this right back in, okay? And you want to make sure it's the right direction. You can only put it in the correct way, all right; it sits it sits nice. All right, now it's three or six screw rather, three on each side, and I like to just sort of drop them in, and let them sort of wiggle their way into place. And see that's what one of my favorite parts about doing this are, right. And then the elusive last screw, get in there. And again, I can't stress this enough, making sure that if you're using a serious drill, like a Hammer Drill; a little bit of overkill, that it's at its lowest setting. It's okay to kick it up if it's really not sending it home, but all right if it isn't, again, you're just going to send that stuff right through the plastic. Just like anything else with multiple screws, it's good to do it in a in a quasi-star pattern to make sure that it's locked down evenly. All right, there it is, her skirt. And now she's ready for her bottom half, and then ready to get wet.
