My daughter cracked her LCD on her Dash over the Holiday. I got her the phone used and the housing was pretty crappy I decided also change out the housing since I was pretty much dismantling the phone to get to the LCD. Every was going pretty smoothly until I got to the Damn Jogger. How in blazes do you get that thing off? Is it glued on?

Thanks in advance.

Yes it is. But it comes off pretty easy if you try to pry it off with a sharp screwdriver, right off the main housing :) It basically "peels off", but IT IS stubborn :)

Better question... What do you do to get it to stick well on the new housing?

You don't need to glue it back on. The sticky backing on it will be good enough to hold it in place. It has two plastic "tongues" on each end that let it snap in place, so the glue is just there for additional safety. Snap it back in to the new housing and you should be fine :)

NRGZ28, Thanks for the heads ups.

I must have not done that great of a job because mine rides a little off the surface toward the bottom of the jogger. If you press on it you can feel it stick and unstick itself from the body.

dewey, NRGZ28 was right just make sure the 2 tabs lock in. They will hold the jogger in place. My daughter has a Dash that looks Brand spankin New
