At this step, you need to be very careful not to damage the buttons or cable! Using a spudger, separate the buttons from the inside of the glass. It may need to be warmed up a bit. Perhaps the best option is to start in the middle, under the middle cable connecting the two buttons, then separate each button.

Look at the glass against the light and make sure there is no dirt. If there is, then wipe it with glass cleaner, and let it dry before use.
