    • If you're reusing your antenna, or the new antenna doesn't have adhesive preinstalled, apply small pieces of thin, double-sided tape to the back of the antenna where the old adhesive was. We used a 5 mm × 16 mm strip and two squares from our precut card.

    • Use tweezers or your fingers to remove the liners from the adhesive.

    • Press the antenna onto the earpiece speaker to adhere it.

    • Insert the gasket at the top edge of the earpiece speaker into its cutout at a downward angle then press it flat to the frame.

    • You may have to lift the front camera assembly just enough to get the earpiece speaker in its cutout. Route the antenna and earpiece speaker cables to the right of the front camera cables. Press the front camera into its cutout, then push its cables flush with the rear cameras.
