Got my delivery yesterday, installed this morning. Reviewed video to get familiar with the pieces and process, and was pleased that the install was easier than depicted. I did not unplug cable, but was very careful not to overextend the electronic strap cable. I removed the touchpad and adhesive layer separately. The video depicted using the tool to remove the layers. I found it MUCH easier to use the tool to peel away enough to grab it with my fingers and SLOWLY peel away. I lifted about 1/2 inch with the tool....just enough to get a grip. This method (see photo) prevented distorting the removed layers, and could then be reinstalled should the need arise. There is a clear plastic ring under the touchpad that has to align with two round holes prior to locking in the pad.
I think it took me about 15 minutes, and am pleased with the result. Even the wife thought it was a pretty significant upgrade for under $100.
