Thanks a lot for the useful guide! I have found some difficulties removing the antenna bar with this description, since there is no information to remove the 4 screws holding the antenna assembly in place. Additionally the force to remove the antenna is very high and may damage the complete antenna. I have used some angled tweezers to remove it and they came right our without any force.

Another question I have for the display replacement on a 2019 MacBook Air is how to get the true tone function and keyboard backlight working again. I have found no infos for the 2019 Air but some people had the same issue with 2018 and up MacBook Pros. Any suggestions on how I could fix this up? (Already made a SMC and PRAM reset)

Thanks in advance!
