How do I replace the USB/charge port cover?

The tether on my SGS4 Active USB port cover has become stretched and won't fit snugly any more.

I have managed to get hold of a replacement port cover, with the little retention strap with a barb on the end of it.

How do I best remove the old cover and replace it with the new cover? There are no retention screws or keeper's to undo like I have seen on the S5.

Thanks!

OK, for those out there wondering the same thing, here's how I did it:

I got a pair of angled needle-nosed pliers, and carefully, bit by bit, pulled out the old cover and it's little rubber tether. You have to pull gently and evenly (no sharp tugs!) as there is a barb on the end of the tether which might cause the tether to break and remain inside the cavity. Just go easy and it will stretch, causing it to get thinner, and then it will slide out.

To fit the new cover, I inserted the barb, and again and this time without the pliers, pushed whilst holding the flap, until the barb slipped into the recess.

Job done!

Note the SGS 5 has a removable cover over the port flap's tether to make this job much easier!

This procedure worked very well for me. Took a little patience waiting for the rubber piece to slide out and when new one put back in. It was a great answer for me.
