Step 3 Apply new adhesive
• If your replacement microphone comes with adhesive pre-installed, skip this step.
• The adhesive can't be removed and reused once it sticks to the microphone. Ensure it's perfectly aligned before adhering.
• Remove the solid white adhesive liner from the new microphone adhesive.
• Align the holes in the adhesive with the three holes in the microphone, and stick it into place.
