Thank you! there was one tricky thing—the parts I got in the order did not match what I took off, so I had to reconfigure it a bit per new instructions that came with the parts. But I figured it out! Thank you for this instruction.

there seem to be 2 projections keeping the back & glass together.

I don't want to break them.
