Confirm 9370
Check the model number on your order, not just XPS 13. Identify lid, bottom and any additional panels supplied.
Clean and dry
Shut down and unplug your laptop. Follow Dell's cleaning advice and allow fitting surfaces to dry, keeping moisture out of openings.
Prepare your space
Use a stable surface, clean hands and good lighting. Leave unused panels on their backing.
Fitting your XPS 13 9370 skin
-
Compare the edges
Check the full perimeter and cut-outs before firm pressure. A logo opening should not be the only alignment reference.
-
Smooth progressively
Follow the backing-removal method shown. Work gradually across the panel without stretching the vinyl.
-
Check extra panels
Match every supplied piece to its intended surface. Leave feet, vents, hinges, ports and keyboard openings clear.
-
Inspect the finish
Check edges and moving clearances before normal use. Do not trim a panel while it is attached to your laptop.
