Any idea for previous model like acxxxx? The 5mm screw aren't visible, bit it's like if they are there. The corners won't come out. Is the screws hidden deep under the rubber pad? Removed the rubber, do we need to somehow remove the plastic part on which the rubber pad are glued? If so how? They seems to be glued on
