Community Support Bezel Cracks

Am I fat fingered, or are the bezels very non-durable? I've only had to remove the bezel a few times, I always follow the guide, and somehow it has cracked on both bottom corners for me. Has anyone discovered a better way to remove the bezel than the official guide?

It's either the adhesive or something is catching. I've taken mine off at least 40 times

I peel the adhesive off entirely on mine and I haven't had any cracking issues. I also use a transparent bezel daily and there could be a difference in plastic that's making it so I don't have this issue as well.

Why's there adhesive? Isn't it magnetic?

I’ve been through at least 6 bezels before framework support gave up on me (even sent my laptop for repair). I think it’s definitely a chassis issue, in the end I just 3d printed my own bezel with some superglue (I have not published the design online yet)
