The trick is at the end when you can't get the last bit in, you have to grab the cushion between thumb and forefinger and twist it into place. Once I discovered THAT, I can change the pads like a pro!
Still can't ever get that last one in. By that time, I'm usually ready to throw the headphone as hard as I can against the wall, so I just live with the one last spot on each side unclipped.
I tried for over an hour and even went to Best Buy’s Geek Squad and they could not do it. I finally went back to my car and googled how to replace my QC35 cushions and this video came up. Thank you for such a simple video that gave me the results I needed. I’ll be following your page for future videos. Thank you again.
I finally received my ear pads today, and my headset is completely a new headset. I had forgotten the feeling of a new headset. For those struggling getting the ring into the hook: I also did at first, before I understood how to it in the easiest way. Instead of forcing it sideways into the hook, simply press downwards and you'll hear the click. At first I also struggled with getting the click, but then to realize that the ring went out of its hook after I had worked on getting the ring into another hook. The way I solved this, was by first fixing the top and bottom hooks. After I understood all this, it took about five minutes. Thanks to Wicked for delivering such great earpads. My headset is as good as new, if not even better.

How did you EVER keep them working? Mine keep telling me (after 6 months) to "PAIR" which NEVER HAPPENED...NEVER WORKED AGAIN!!! TOTAL waste of $350!!!
@@pismotclam6717 I had to get my first pair replaced under warranty because, after a few months, it would turn on even when the switch was turned off. It kept running down the battery! I finally figured out that if you use a physical cord to plug it into a device (I use them with my computer, which doesn't have bluetooth) and you pull the cable out of the jack in the headphones before you turn the noise cancelling switch off, it eventually breaks the switch. I had a desk drawer handle the very short 4 ft Bose cord kept catching on, pulling them out of the headphones every time I tried to put them on. And sometimes I'd just pull it out while it was on so I could pair them to my phone. I got a longer cord and stopped doing this when the new pair came, and didn't have a problem again. But now, just after the warranty on the 2nd pair expired, the pads are falling apart at an alarming speed! It's such bad design. I love the sound quality of bose, but my god, the hardware is such bad quality, especially considering how expensive they are. I've ordered a pair of these WC pads and am very hopeful they'll last me a good long while. I doubt I'll be looking at Bose again in the future, however, when shopping for new headphones. They're just too unreliable. I'll probably go back to Sony. I wore my Sonys for over 10 years without issue. I'm so disappointed in Bose.
I used my headphones for two years until it had ripped so much that I had no other option but to change the earpads. The feeling is so different lmao. Its great.
Just got mine in the mail today and installed them. They're perfect! So happy I was able to replace my old really worn out cushions. The installation took me less than 10 minutes. A trick mentioned in the comments here to fix the top and bottom hooks first was clutch. Using my fingernail to apply pressure right above each clip made the whole process really easy. Thanks Wicked Cushions! Good product!
I left my ear pads on longer than I should have because I was scared I’d break my headphones if I replaced them. Your video gave me the confidence to go ahead, thanks. Lots of light needed as it’s hard to see the hooks, a little patience and it’s easy enough.
I’m from the Netherlands and I have ordered the earpads less than two weeks ago. I’ve already received them this morning, it just took me like 10 minutes to replace them. Im very happy with the result, thank u guys so much. My headphones feel like totally new ones and the pads got a slick design now
I totally agree, and I'm a pretty big tech nerd who knows my way around these things. This was just way harder for me for some reason, and this vid didn't do much to help **Edit** if you have an ifixit kit, the little flat black spudgers help immensely with getting the ring on the pads to "click" into the frame. If you don't have an ifixit kit (get one lol), use like a guitar pick, cut up an old credit card, or very carefully use a very small, very dull, blunt flathead screwdriver. Just need something rigid, small, narrow, and flat.
The real truth is, I was born to do this and nothing else but this 😆 One more thing, at that point I have probably did that more than a 100 times, so its not really fair...
Really impressed with the Wicked cushions I received today. After 3 years of owning the QC35, the factory cushions were falling apart and started smelling really bad since I get sweaty. After installing the new cushions, these headphones are like new again. The noise cancellation is hugely improved since it forms a tighter seal on my ears. And these actually seem more comfortable than the factory cushions even when they were new. Snow camo looks great and they are reasonably priced. Thank you!
I've had my Bose QC35 for a few years now and eventually the pads deteriorated because of heavy use. I just got new pads and this tutorial helped me replace my worn pads. I forgot how amazing music is when wearing this headphone. Thank you!
I had my QC35II for 2 years obviously after heavy use the ear pads were completely destroyed, did some research and I finally decided to get these and they're amazing, I forgot how good the headset sounded and to have my ANC back with full sealed pads is a godsend.
My left ear pad accidentally ripped out about a couple months ago. Ever since I’ve been using the headphones with the left pad loosely in place, has been super annoying but finally I learned that I’m able to fix it!! Thanks so much!
Just finished installing my new wicked cushions on my QC35II. In the last week or so I noticed my original Bose cushions (silver) looked like bad a paint job on a car where the paint had started to flake off. I was a little concerned about the difficulty of the process and that I might break something but there's really nothing to it. Once you get the first few hooks seated your essentially home free. Definitely worth the price.
I used my qc35's over hearing aids which destroyed the pads super fast, this is the second time i've replaced them since buying them, and the 10 clicks tip for installation is the best tip I have seen for these ever!
What! I had noooo idea I could replace my ear pads! I've stained mine from all the random colors of hair dye I experiment with, not to mention the sweat smell that's starting to sink in from working out in them. Wow. So glad I stumbled upon your video!
I wasn't clear on how to replace the earpads with the written instructions but good thing it writes in big letters "WATCH THE VIDEO". Very good demonstration and a very good product. Thank you.
Thank you. Replacement ear pads came today. I followed your instructions to the letter. It took less than five minutes to remove the old pads and install the new pads. Very good video. Kinda want the camo ear pads now.
Looks like i'll be making a purchase of your replacement pads soon. Mine are finally getting pretty worn. Love my headphones. Great investment for being able to work in comfort and a great listening experience.
Just fixed Ash Wicked Cushions ear cups (bought from amazon Australia) into my Bose QC 35 II. High quality product. Easy to install after following these instructions in the video.
I just installed mine today. I used a black magic marker to locate pins easily. Installation took 7 minutes for my first time attempt. Easy to install and seem to fit comfortably over my ears. The original set lasted 1 1/2 years, let's see how long for this one. Stay tuned.
Super video, thanks. I replaced my pads in about 10 mins. Mine came with a small plastic (non sharp) blade to poke the ring over the nibs. Worked like a dream. Thanks!
Thanks a lot! Great demo!! When you pull them out, don't yank or you will tear the delicate Pleather material. Tuck finger into the inside, feel the rim and hold that when pulling out. It should snap out easily. The model number is hidden on inside rim of hard plastic. You see it after you take out the ear pads. Its on one side not the other. When putting it back in, tuck first section under, and go around snapping rest of it in bit by bit. Its easy. Don't force it.
I just received my replacement set and it is beyond difficult to get the new pads to snap in. I had 2 other ppl try, thinking I was going crazy as well but they all gave up. After about 45 mins, ONE tab filing fit into place which made the others a bit easier but it was the worst thing to get done! No BS, my joints now hurt from it
Sorry about that. But I'm glad to know that it's installed on your headphones now. Feel free to contact us if you need help. Unfortunately there is not much we can do in terms of the installation since Bose are the one's that made them fit this way. What do you think we can do better in the video to make the process more clear?
Just got mine in the mail. Bought after watching this video. Bose wanted to charge me for the cushions and extra $15 for installation. For the wear after just one year. Screw that. These cushions are way higher quality and brainless to install. Highly recommended.
Hey Brandon, so happy to hear that we could help! If there is anything you need, we are right here. Do not forget you have a full 1 year warranty on our cushions in case anything happens :)
This is my second time installing replacement pads. I do not recall it being difficult at all. Have read a lot of comments. Watched the video over and over. Just seems like there is no room for the pads to go under the hooks. I won't give up.
bless you! my noise cancellation has been broken for a month now, and I was terrified it was a big problem. I was scared to take the pads off and reattach them because I didn't want to accidentally break my headphones, but I followed this video and my noise cancellation problem was resolved. The pads must have gotten out of alignment or something (whatever the term is for this problem), and reattaching them fixed it. thanks!
Thank you so much! This helped a great deal, the pair of cushions I ordered came with a really handle toothpick kind of tool, made this a 2 min job! thank you!
I just got my new Wicked Cushion ear pads for my Bose QC35. Went through the video... it was a snap (pun intended :) ). My headphones are like new again. I almost scrapped my headphones and would have spent about $300 again for a new one. Luckily, Wicked Cushions came up in Google Search, and 2 weeks later, I'm a very happy user. I dug up my even older pair of Bose QC25, which luckily I did not throw away. Just ordered replacement pads for it too.
I didn't realize my headphones were still sounding so good. The foam in mine was so bad that I thought they were dying. Glad this fixed it. I do not have the money to buy new headphones this good, but using these for the past 4 years has spoiled me
Done. Easy. Well... reasonably easy. The backing tape would not come off one tape strip on the left backing pad. Just would not peel apart so I pulled the tape strip off the backing bit on stuck it in with only one tape strip. Seems fine. Bit of a knack to getting the ear pad under all the lugs but I got there. Thanks.
Thanks mate! Even though I didn't purchase my replacements from you (I'm in the UK so shipping would have been expensive for me), I sought out this video to help me.
My man, you did such a good, complete, and thorough job of explaining this, even answering questions in areas as they were forming in my mind (“am I pulling TOO hard to get these things off, as I change them for the first time? Am I about to damage these $300+/ whatever it was I paid for them headphones?”) well done, and sincere thanks to you! Once I finally order my new pads, I’ll be coming back to this video!
yes, a little tricky getting the new pads on at first, but stick with it, once you figure it out it is easy...Great replacement pads, and very good packing and communication.
Great video, it’s awesome that they made a video to put on the pads I bought, I’ve once bought some Sony ear pads and it took hours to put on this just took me like 20 minutes (20 because I’m stupid lol) it was pretty quick. Great video overall! :)
Just installed my new pair. Not too bad once you get the hang of clicking into the hooks. The most annoying part was the double sided tape you guys use on the inner liners. Was so hard to separate the paper from the tape, without removing or ruining the tape.
Ugh. Bought my on-ear Sound Link in 2014 and just realized I could change the ear pads.. Mine are shredded.. Sniff.!! Not sure but I think Bose has the pads for the SoundLink.? I can not find them on your links.. I have back up headphones but these are my most favorite.. Thought I had to toss them out because of the pads.. Thank you SO much for your video.. It helped.. yay.!!
I got you, the one's you see in this link here would fit: wickedcushions.com/collections/bose-replacement-ear-pads/products/replacement-ear-pads-for-bose-soundlink-soundtrue-oe2-on-ear-black
I wish it was easy to replace the headband Julia, it requires taking them apart, messing with electrical wires. Its not somethin I would recommend anyone doing. Too much risk of ruining the headset
Good as new, thank you! Sure beats having burst foam on my ears. If anyone can't see the hooks, they are pretty tiny and a little further up on the side.
Thanks for the video. I think o used different brand, but it took me around 10-15 mins to change mine. I spent most of the time to peel off the adhesive tape cover on the screen mats. I've heard it is a hard time to change the earpads on this headphones, but it seemed pretty easy for me.
Received 2 days ago. 30 mins in still trying to fit them. Carefully read enclosed instruction sheet, re-watched their YT vid. Frustrating and I’m in swe so I deal w/ problems and solutions all damn day. Almost thought [wickedly] to just wrap around the cushions onto my Bose with hideous duct tape. That’d be tacky and inefficient though since they were $350 (6+yrs ago) noise blocking head phones, perfect for getting in the zone for programming. Just didn’t need this extra hassle coming home to install pads for my 6+ yr Bose Q35 which served me well to do mentally challenging programming. On good side, it arrived early, had high quality, zippered bag which one can re-use, + smart branding, and CEO has good story plot and ‘gives back’ to charities which seems heart-felt. Will persist later tomorrow.
@WickedCushions Done deal. We liberal arts ‘highly selective’ college graduates turned software engineers DON’T quit. Thanks for cool vibe + high quality.
It is easy! When you connect the pad to the headset go with your nail slowly around the outer edge or the pads with a little pressure and you will hear a click each time the tiny hook will connect
thank you for the tutorial! im still a little scared to replace them that i may mess up, but mine ive had for like 3 years now somehow and they smell a bit sweaty :’)) so i will order replacement pads soon and hopefully they will be nice and fresh
How well in quality are these aftermarket ear pads compared to Bose Q35s Regular Quality In Softness Firmness Percentage you'd say? Do the qualities come close or better for feel? :)
Highly reccommend the Wicked Earpads. Excellent product, equally as good or better than the original Bose. Be patient when installing and you will be very happy.
Just wondering how I decide what ear pads to purchase? I've found some $10 ones on ebay but I feel like the quality would probably be worse than the original pads
They look really good. I have a snow camo PS4 controller and they would look absolutely sick on my black QC35. Real nice. I have ordered some original replacements from Bose already, but I may think about ordering those in the future.
My dumb self didn't pull out the hard plastic part, only the soft pads. Then proceed to try putting the new pads in, with of course no success. The soft pads came off easy probably because it's old (can see inside the ear pads) and ripped it apart. Remember to pull the old plastic part, not the pads only... XD Thanks a lot for the instructions, truly help!
yea, what a pain, i thought it would be a sticker instead of hooks like other headphones, but like thanos said "it almost killed, me but the work is done"
Was helpfull i got them in but i have a feeling they are not fit perfectly sure they hold i have them a Shake from the ear pads and they hold but if i check some parts are stressed some parts are too loose is that supposed to be ?

Worked like a charm. Thank you for such a clear and easy to understand guide. Just as comfortable as the original Bose.
You're welcome! Really happy we could help! enjoy :)
Whooooa the sound difference is blowing my mind 😍 I definitely need to fix my thumbnail after that installation but I think long nails helped!
Nails do help here!
bless you! my noise cancellation has been broken for a month now, and I was terrified it was a big problem. I was scared to take the pads off and reattach them because I didn't want to accidentally break my headphones, but I followed this video and my noise cancellation problem was resolved. The pads must have gotten out of alignment or something (whatever the term is for this problem), and reattaching them fixed it. thanks!
Glad it helped!
Great tutorial. Used this for a different brand of replacement pads but worked just the same. Thank you!
You're welcome. I hope you can try our ear pads next time. :)
Thank you so much! This helped a great deal, the pair of cushions I ordered came with a really handle toothpick kind of tool, made this a 2 min job! thank you!
Glad we could help!
I just got my new Wicked Cushion ear pads for my Bose QC35. Went through the video... it was a snap (pun intended :) ). My headphones are like new again. I almost scrapped my headphones and would have spent about $300 again for a new one. Luckily, Wicked Cushions came up in Google Search, and 2 weeks later, I'm a very happy user.
I dug up my even older pair of Bose QC25, which luckily I did not throw away. Just ordered replacement pads for it too.
So happy to hear that! Glad we could help out :)
I didn't realize my headphones were still sounding so good. The foam in mine was so bad that I thought they were dying. Glad this fixed it. I do not have the money to buy new headphones this good, but using these for the past 4 years has spoiled me
I am glad I could save you some money!
Done. Easy. Well... reasonably easy. The backing tape would not come off one tape strip on the left backing pad. Just would not peel apart so I pulled the tape strip off the backing bit on stuck it in with only one tape strip. Seems fine. Bit of a knack to getting the ear pad under all the lugs but I got there. Thanks.
Happens sometime with the screen tape :(
Thanks mate! Even though I didn't purchase my replacements from you (I'm in the UK so shipping would have been expensive for me), I sought out this video to help me.
Glad I could help. Just know that we are in amazon UK for next time, super fast and cheap shipping.
Thank you so much! You extended the life of my headphones by another year or two with this video. Appreciate it a lot.
You're welcome! Really happy we could help! enjoy :)
Thank you so much! Bought a pair of pads from wish. Took under five minutes to replace with your instructions.
You're welcome. I hope you can try our ear pads next time. We do not sell on wish.
Thank you. Clear and to-the-point instructions on how to swap those earpads, appreciated. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
My man, you did such a good, complete, and thorough job of explaining this, even answering questions in areas as they were forming in my mind (“am I pulling TOO hard to get these things off, as I change them for the first time? Am I about to damage these $300+/ whatever it was I paid for them headphones?”) well done, and sincere thanks to you! Once I finally order my new pads, I’ll be coming back to this video!
You're welcome Mike. We're just here if you need help.
Simple, effective and straight to the point, thank you!
You're welcome!
yes, a little tricky getting the new pads on at first, but stick with it, once you figure it out it is easy...Great replacement pads, and very good packing and communication.
Thank you!
Thanks for the instruction! It took me one minute to fix the right one and 5 min for the left one !!!!
Glad it helped!
I just got my third cushion replacement from Wicked, and they're amazing! I love their quality!
Thanks for coming back!
3rd?! How often are you replacing them
Great video, it’s awesome that they made a video to put on the pads I bought, I’ve once bought some Sony ear pads and it took hours to put on this just took me like 20 minutes (20 because I’m stupid lol) it was pretty quick. Great video overall! :)
Glad I could help!
Just installed my new pair. Not too bad once you get the hang of clicking into the hooks. The most annoying part was the double sided tape you guys use on the inner liners. Was so hard to separate the paper from the tape, without removing or ruining the tape.
We been trying to fix that for so long and it just keeps happening, I think its because of how thin of a layer it has to be
Ugh. Bought my on-ear Sound Link in 2014 and just realized I could change the ear pads.. Mine are shredded.. Sniff.!! Not sure but I think Bose has the pads for the SoundLink.? I can not find them on your links.. I have back up headphones but these are my most favorite.. Thought I had to toss them out because of the pads.. Thank you SO much for your video.. It helped.. yay.!!
I got you, the one's you see in this link here would fit:

Excellent guide, exactly what I was looking for. Just bought the Geo Grey ones.
Thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS KIND OF HELP IS WHAT THE INTERNET SHOULD BE. TRIBUTE TO YOU. AGAIN, THANKS
You're welcome! Really happy we could help! enjoy :)
Most affordable replacements I’ve found and they feel great. Also very easy to pop in, we’ll just see how they hold up now
Glad we could help!
Thank you! Mine finally ripped and after watching this video I have no doubt and will be replacing mine!
Good luck!
you should sell the headband replacement too. your products are great quality, i'm so happy with my new wicked cusions :)
I wish it was easy to replace the headband Julia, it requires taking them apart, messing with electrical wires. Its not somethin I would recommend anyone doing. Too much risk of ruining the headset
Just got mine replaced. Feels like a completely different headphone. Thanks for the tips.
Glad I could help!
Thank you, love my red camo ear pads and I'm glad I replaced the screen mats because it was really dirty in there.
You're welcome! Glad to help!
Good as new, thank you! Sure beats having burst foam on my ears. If anyone can't see the hooks, they are pretty tiny and a little further up on the side.
You welcome!
My original ear pads got damaged and got new ones as a replacement! Thank you for the guide video! Very helpful!
Happy we could help! enjoy the new cushions
I literally just installed these and instantly the headphones are cold. WICKED. I seriously need a pair for my QC Ultras too.
Working on them!
Great video, I brought one of your earpads rather than a cheaper one as a thank you!
Thanks for your support :)
Thank you i just ordered my replacement ear pads thanks to your link and how to replace mine..
Excite for you to try them out!
Cheers for that one buddy. Had genuine trouble getting them to click in.
Glad to hear you got it sorted!
Have my pair for over three years now. Will try replacing the ripped up ear cushions once I get replacement cushions.
You will love the new feel!
Just replaced mine and it was easy, my headphones are like new again, thanks.
Hey! thank you so much for the awesome review.
Thanks for the video. I think o used different brand, but it took me around 10-15 mins to change mine. I spent most of the time to peel off the adhesive tape cover on the screen mats. I've heard it is a hard time to change the earpads on this headphones, but it seemed pretty easy for me.
I am glad I could help!
Received 2 days ago. 30 mins in still trying to fit them. Carefully read enclosed instruction sheet, re-watched their YT vid. Frustrating and I’m in swe so I deal w/ problems and solutions all damn day.
Almost thought [wickedly] to just wrap around the cushions onto my Bose with hideous duct tape. That’d be tacky and inefficient though since they were $350 (6+yrs ago) noise blocking head phones, perfect for getting in the zone for programming.
Just didn’t need this extra hassle coming home to install pads for my 6+ yr Bose Q35 which served me well to do mentally challenging programming.
On good side, it arrived early, had high quality, zippered bag which one can re-use, + smart branding, and CEO has good story plot and ‘gives back’ to charities which seems heart-felt.
Will persist later tomorrow.
I hope you can make it!
@WickedCushions Done deal. We liberal arts ‘highly selective’ college graduates turned software engineers DON’T quit. Thanks for cool vibe + high quality.
Thank you for this tutorial. IMHO, this is what the internet is all about.
My pleasure
Many thanks for video. I have successfully fitted mine all thx to your easy to follow tutorial
You're welcome! Really happy we could help! enjoy :)
It is easy! When you connect the pad to the headset go with your nail slowly around the outer edge or the pads with a little pressure and you will hear a click each time the tiny hook will connect
Exactly Orly! just uncover the base with your finger and push it with your nail down :)
is there a replacement piece for the headband? mine is deteriorating just like the earpads (had them for 3 years)
Sorry but we do not have replacement headband.
Thanks for the awesome video! Saved me a lot of time, last time was a huge challenge but this time was way easier with your guidance
Glad it helped!
thank you for the tutorial! im still a little scared to replace them that i may mess up, but mine ive had for like 3 years now somehow and they smell a bit sweaty :’)) so i will order replacement pads soon and hopefully they will be nice and fresh
Hey, its super easy! don't worry bout it.
How well in quality are these aftermarket ear pads compared to Bose Q35s Regular Quality In Softness Firmness Percentage you'd say?
Do the qualities come close or better for feel? :)
I am not objective honestly, but you can read our amazon reviews :)
Perfect video. Thanks. Helped a lot to change mine in seconds. Thanks for sharing !
Glad it helped!
Highly reccommend the Wicked Earpads. Excellent product, equally as good or better than the original Bose. Be patient when installing and you will be very happy.
I appreciate that!
Just wondering how I decide what ear pads to purchase? I've found some $10 ones on ebay but I feel like the quality would probably be worse than the original pads
Can't say anything about other ear pads but try ours. Here's our Bose ear pads: wickedcushions.com/collections/bose-replacement-ear-pads
My original ear cushions wore out and the foam cut in less than a year. Replacing them was a total night and day difference in sound.
Glad I could help!
@@WickedCushions Thanks, was quicker than expected. About 15 mins
Thanks, random video I needed 3 months ago and not now.
Better later than never :)
What an ass!
@@adksherm Don't call the RUclips algorithm names. It's doing the best it can.
They look really good. I have a snow camo PS4 controller and they would look absolutely sick on my black QC35. Real nice. I have ordered some original replacements from Bose already, but I may think about ordering those in the future.
Thank you!
How is the noise cancelation? I've heard these off brand ones make it straight up stop working by leaking sound.
@@OutOfNameIdeas2 according to most of ours customers, the noise cancellation is still the same or close to original.
Thank you so much for making this video!!! It was so helpful!!!
You're welcome! Really happy we could help! enjoy :)
Thank you, I just did it, easy because of your explanation!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for these instructions, they were very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Yooo I thought I was gonna have to put mine up forever. Thanks bruv
You welcome!
Just ordered from you guys! Thanks for the video demo!
Hope you like it!
Nicee.Jjust bought the geo grey ones. Hope they look dope ^^
Great explanation! Did it on the first try!
Glad it helped!
My dumb self didn't pull out the hard plastic part, only the soft pads.
Then proceed to try putting the new pads in, with of course no success.
The soft pads came off easy probably because it's old (can see inside the ear pads) and ripped it apart.
Remember to pull the old plastic part, not the pads only... XD
Thanks a lot for the instructions, truly help!
Glad I could help!
Hardest earpads I've ever tried to replace. Next time buying new headphones.
Edit: Ok it's not so bad if you use a tool to push down around the hooks
Glad to know that you were able to do it. If you need help, we're just here.
@@WickedCushions Hey thanks
@@Nauct You're welcome.
A tool? I used my fingers....... not hard
yea, what a pain, i thought it would be a sticker instead of hooks like other headphones, but like thanos said "it almost killed, me but the work is done"
Was helpfull i got them in but i have a feeling they are not fit perfectly sure they hold i have them a Shake from the ear pads and they hold but if i check some parts are stressed some parts are too loose is that supposed to be ?
Not sure, could be anything really, can;t see into the headset
Great product and easy installation thanks to the video. Very well done
Glad you liked it!
