    • Insert the tip of an opening pick at a downward angle between the bezel and screen assembly, near the top right corner.

    • Lower the pick so it's flat with the screen and the tip is under the screen bezel.

    • The bottom edge of the bezel is held in place with strong adhesive and clips.

    • Ensure you're separating the bottom edge of the bezel from the protective film and not the protective film from the screen. If the film starts to peel up, gently press it back into place before you continue peeling up the bezel.

    • Use your fingers to slowly peel the bottom edge of the bezel from the protective film on the display.

    • If you're having a hard time separating the adhesive, use your opening pick to slice through the adhesive, being very careful not to cut the film. If it is still difficult, use an iOpener or hair dryer to lightly heat the bottom edge of the bezel.

    • Once the adhesive is completely separated, lift the bottom edge of the bezel straight up to unfasten its clips.

    • Remove the bezel.

    • To re-install this bezel or install a new one, you may need to replace the adhesive if the bezel isn't sticking correctly. If your replacement part does not include adhesive, use thin, double-sided tape. Use the 5mm strips for the bottom and the 1mm strips around the top and sides. Remove all residue from the original adhesive before replacing.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
