How to change the silver top cover to the Rose Gold one on my Dell XPS 13 9360 ?
Has anyone done it?
I can't find a video anywhere online on how to do that. They have a whole bunch of videos online on swapping out the display with cover intact but no matter how I google it, can't find just taking off the cover once you have the display taken out???
These are some of the keywords I used....
Dell XPS 13 9360 top cover / display hinge cover / LCD Back Cover Top case Screen Screen lid / Rear Lids for Dell XPS / LCDs Back Cover Rear Lid / LED back cover lid. I added Removal to each of those.

Never mind, I found it on the long running ifixit website! I've used them before in the past, but couldn't find them until I googled "Disassembly of top cover from display screen on Dell XPS 13 9360". It's not a video, but well laid out with photo's and instructions which I prefer anyways as I hate pausing the videos all the time.

It looks too hard to take the cover off as it is glued to the screen.
- We're getting pretty good at prying up glass, so we've got some idea of where to start.
Step 1: Load up on heat. Use plenty of iOpeners. (Or one iOpener plenty of times).
Step 2: Pry gently in many places. Opening Picks are the ideal tool.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: The edges you just heated are nowhere near the adhesive you wanted to loosen. The adhesive is entirely under the LCD panel.
Step 4b: Apply plenty of heat to the back and pry slowly.
- Whew! Okay, not heck-tons of adhesive, but it packs a punch. You'd better peel slowly and use plenty of heat. That's some thin glass.

That is a cool skin. I think a skin is the best option.

Like with the past 9 years of XPS 13, their all silver with the exception of Rose Gold and you can't tell if one is an 8 year old one or a new one without looking closely.
I was liking the Rose Gold, but that is out at this point, so I'll go with a skin. I make a living of sorts with photography, so that would be good advertising as I took that photo. -

I considered painting this one as I've painted several laptops over the years... click on my signature link to see those below.kojack likes this. -
I like different stuff too. 2000 acura integra with endyn pistons, cams, head and ported supercharger. 400 whp. 11 sec 1/4 on pump gas. Also, this was in 2001!

Awesome, great job. I worked with subaru canada tuning their rally cars for the Targa Newfoundland. That was awesome. At the time I had a 2001 legacy GT with a twin turbo setup. turbo for each bank of two cyl in the boxer engine design. 500 hp to the wheels.

This was the twin turbo setup we used when building the car.
And the car basically looked like this but was black. I cannot find a picutre of a black one like it. It was before I had my camera. I had a bunch of JDM parts flown to me from Japan to build it.
