Am I supposed to remove the plastic covering from the bottom (presumably to secure the pad in one place)?

Removing the plastic from the bottom provides more grip while placed on your desk top. It won't hurt anything to take it off, though I too haven't done this yet either. Lol

It's optional, not mandatory. If you remove it it will fix better to the desk but also catch more dust in the bottom. I used it for a few months without removing it and didn't find it troublesome at all.

I did not remove it. I have a glass desk so it worked fine leaving it on. If you want to stay in place you might have to remove the plastic. I was worried about the dust catching to the bottom.

I suspect that the plastic on the bottom of the pad is supposed to be removed, but I left it on. That way it is easier to swivel around and adjust. I personally will stick a fitted piece of vinyl to the bottom of the pad if the plastic covering on it ever shows wear. I hope this helps.

I agree with the advice that Sharon offered. If its just the plastic cover, use it without it. If for some reason you can not, buy a new one. New is more fun. Good luck Gerry

You can take it off...but I must say this is the SAFEST net attachment I have ever seen. The pad is on the outside of the net.

Remove protective rubber guard if any and then remove carefully from the side.

Yes, xD i took the plate off but its oversized enough that you could remove the screws and mount the new pad back over the original pad and prevent its loss, also stripper clips are really tight i took pliers and loosened em' up a bit also closed up one end so i could only load them one direction to help avoid rim-lock

The top is secured with silicone. You should be able to remove it and reattach it.

I think there are hard plastic caps on the bottom. I added felt pads to mine.

Mine has the same padding on all faces including the bottom. It doesn't look removable.

It's been awhile since I purchased this. I believe the cover is removable. I remember the pad being pretty decent.

I installed a rubber pad on the bottom of the case and duct taped it in place.

It appears to be held in place with a metal retaining clip. I don't see any way to remove it completely, but cutting it off with hacksaw would work. There is a bit of sliding friction, I'm not sure if this would be a problem or not for you.

that is a good question. maybe because the plastic is super thick? but the seller will definitely answer if you ask them. they contacted me before i had received my pad. i wish you luck.

The pad is over bound with thread...if you cut it you would have to stop the raveling I think by binding it with something...

I was told by my hardwood floor installers that I should pry off the plastic caps, then attach these pads. Otherwise, they will come off.

It should come off just like the bottom. Very simple. It might be a little hard to remove but it should come off the same as bottom.

There's one Velcro strip in each end of the cover near the bottom. Just secure those to tighten them and they hold the cover on snug.

You do not have to remove the rubber pads... They are heat-proof. Let me know if you have any further questions.
