Using a screwdriver, carefully pry off the underside of the handle. The cover is held on the handle with five pins in clips, see photo. The pins can tear off during this action. Luckily for me it was only 2 out of 5 and the cover held up afterwards.

Under the cover is a tab with two screws. The screws and tab must be removed to insert the new fastener. Please don't forget to remove the spring from the old closing latch and attach it to the new one! Then screw the tab back in place and put the cover back on.
