Remove the logic board cover

The rubber cover on the bottom of the logic board is secured with adhesive along its copper pads.
Flip over the logic board.
While securing the logic board with one hand, use the other to peel off the rubber cover.
If pieces of the copper rip and stick to the logic board, don't worry! Keep the copper in place, as it'll fill in the gaps on the rubber cover during reassembly.
