They should change out like any other unit.
There should be a jib halyard that you release when the sail in unfurled preferable in light to no winds .

Then you pull down on the sail until it is all out of the track and removable.
Tie a small line to the car, and to the bottom of the unit so the car wont go up the furler.

attach new sail reverse of the removal procedure.
