Once you've gotten a tool inserted along one short side, cut it free with patience, heat, and alcohol. Then, repeat the previous step to get into the other short side.

Drip alcohol along the seam between glass and body to help soften adhesive. Re-heat the hot compress and let it sit over the seam, too, to help.

After both short sides are free, you can break the adhesive free from both haptic motors (circled in purple in step 2).

They're much deeper inside than the edge adhesive, so I cut a plastic card in half to gain some room, then reached in with 3-4cm of aluminum can tool to slice through that adhesive. It's gummy clear adhesive, not the black foam like around the edges.

Along the left and right, the adhesive only reaches to ~3-4mm in from the edge. Along the top and bottom, some sections are thicker or more recessed, but usually only about 8mm, never more than 10mm (except the haptic motors)

Use extra gift cards, notecards, square bits of plastic, etc. as "bookmarks" to keep the adhesive from sticking to itself in areas you've cut loose.
