You'd have to continued taking the trim off the front mount area to expose
the gear that has unwound. With shutter speed on 1000, a good starting
point is to turn the plastic gear in the upper right corner (with the string
attached) and wind it a little counter clockwise and hold it so the point
where the string enters the gear is at about 5:30 position. As you hold it
there, slide large outer plastic ring back in at 1000 position, without
knocking interlocking gear stack out of position (that gear is the one you
can't see under the floor of the mirror box.)
