Methods of Removing The Actual Touchbar

  • There are 2 methods that we can take towards removing this annoying touchbar. We went ahead and performed what we thing is the harder method.

  • Method 1: Take 2 tweezers or handles and wrap very thin wire around them. Then pull the wire underneath the touchbar LCD gently while being careful not to damage the keyboard

  • This method keeps the frame underneath the touchbar from scratching a whole bunch, eliminates the possibility of the keyboard keys "melting" from the Adhesive Remover, and allows you to possibly reuse the touchbar.

  • Method 2: What we did. Remove the touchbar digitizer first by prying it up and off the touchbar LCD. Then use a combination Adhesive Remover and a Technician's Razor Set to remove the touchbar LCD.

  • This method takes longer and more patience. However, we didn't have wire at our disposal and we weren't needing to reuse the touchbar
