Have to replace my replay pro response pads… wondering if I could get some tips from veterans out there. There is nothing simple inside this thread, so I made a new topic…

You need to buy the slim size 19mm, search for slim size pad on the shop. You remove the old pads by poking into them with a needle/toothpick/knife, then you use rubbing alcohol and a q-tip to clean the groove if there is any sticky residue. You’re now ready to place the new pads.

You could also buy windshield flowable silicone but that’s a more involved process but cheaper in the long run.

Its not too hard, all you have to do is get the old ones out, make sure most of the sticky stuff is out, and put in the new ones.
