Clock surround/glass - how is it fixed in place?

[retskcid]

Hi there,

My new to me S4 has had gold coloured clock surrounds installed and since I wish to make them black I tried twisting them to remove - they just fell off with little effort into my hand! They appear to have been attached using a thin bead of silicon sealant, is this normal?

I want to paint them and reattach properly!

Cheers

again no this is not normal
the previous owner must have stuck them on

You so should have bought my Red (correct colour) un-bodged, un-carbon painted etc etc S4 :banghead:

haha, dont say that! :cry:

how "should" they be attached?

[Scotty]

It's a sealed unit they're not supposed to come off at all

are your coloured ones not just stuck on to of the original ones ?

[retskcid]
