I took my Touchpad apart to fix a problem with the USB connector. It is worth mentioning that it is possible to remove the front panel without breaking any clips or causing any damage. You will just need to use a second spudger to "release" the connectors from the front panel, instead of just prying the panel up like the guide says. (Wish I could give more detail, but my edits to the panel guide didn't make the cut. Maybe one of the Ifixit mods could explain it better.)

I also have tried this, what you do is use one tool to pry open the side so you can see a gap and the clips. Then with a second tool you un-clip the clips from the screen by putting a the second tool between the clips and the screen releasing it without any damage. They are a clip attached to the back case and the plastic acts like a sprig to keep the clips attached to the screen panel.
Thank You
Step 9 says, "Use your fingernail to carefully flip up the retaining flaps on the two digitizer ribbon cable ZIF sockets." That's what I did, but I found it impossible to reconnect the ribbon cables until I took out the board the sockets are on. Even then it was very difficult to reattach the ribbon cables. I recommend leaving them in place and removing the board - which is only held by two screws and a small ribbon connector.
Beware of the ribbon cable right beneath the volume rocker, as it's easy to shear that cable if you are too rough with the metal spudger.

I wasn’t happy with using a metal spudger as it felt a bit forceful, as I have a bulk pack of opening tools I tried using them instead.
I may have been lucky, but by using those tools instead with the angled lip facing inwards at points adjacent to where the mounting clips are located according to the above image (like this, https://i.imgur.com/dylp6BG.jpg ), I managed to open the unit without breaking a clip or scratching the plastic back panel by bending the outside of the panel enough to pop the lcd panel.
