      • Use a heated iOpener, hair dryer, or heat gun to soften the adhesive securing the long, black rubber cover below the front camera assembly.

      • Use tweezers or your fingers to pry up and remove the cover from the right side. Work slowly to avoid tearing it—it'll be reused later.

      • Leave the smaller rubber cover to the left of the front camera assembly in place.

      • Be careful not to damage the sockets on the board in this step. The connectors are glued together and more difficult to disconnect.

      • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the front camera module's two central press connectors. Insert the spudger underneath the top edge of each connector.
