The "legs" down the edges/sides aren't necessary -- just a small (about
3x3mm) square pad at the front corners. If you have an old screen, remove
your good one and install the old one while you remove the old foam --
otherwise, just be careful not to get any of the old foam "gunk" on the
good screen when you remove it. We just scrape it off with an X-acto
knife.
