I am trying to replace the back panel of my iPhone 4 with the nifty transparent iFixit back panel. But, I can't make it slide in the last 2mm. Any advice?
Thanks.
Is this a good question?

Thanks for your advice. It seems that I received the wrong part. iFixit is sending me a replacement.

Hi, I have the exact same problem. My rear panel slides about half of the way, then it seems as something is in the way of the tiny plastic guides. I think I received the appropiate part, as it's virtually identical to the original one. I don't know what to do :(

I ordered the transparent back panel for my 4s a couple of weeks ago and got the wrong one as well. A side by side comparison of the original back and the clear one made it obvious. Ifixit sent a replacement right away.

are you sliding it down or trying to slide it up? it should slide from headphone jack downwards to dock. it only has to slide a few mm. Just check for anything in the little grooves either on the main body or the back panel which may be blocking the sliding.
