I have a Moshi Palmguard on my MacBook Pro right now. Should I remove it before sending it to Applecare? They're going to take a look at my trackpad so I don't want them to send it back saying the Palmguard was the cause of the problem.

Just peel it carefully from one side of the case. It should come off without leaving a residue. Place it on wax paper and weight it down with something heavy and flat. That should keep the adhesive from drying out.

Be warned that palmgurad will have some funny looking spots on it depending on lighting. This is normal and just stress marks from removing the palmguard (I had this happen to mine when I was putting mine on my MBP and removed it to re-position it).

I managed to get the part covering the palmrest off. But any tips for removing the trackpad piece?
