Do I remove the protective cover removed?

In step 37 B you show that you are raising the red protective cover from the display. Is this required? I am repairing an IPhone 4 CDMA and the red cover is still on there. Please help soon.

Yes, remove the protective cover on the back of the new LCD assembly.

WARNING: Failure to remove the protective cover from the mirrored back of the display assembly will damage the LCD. There is a thermal pad installed on the iPhone frame that absorbs the heat from the LCD and disperses it though the frame, preventing the LCD from

overheating.

Thank you for the helpful info. I have now replaced two front displays and removed the transparent protective cover.
