How to repair the L2/R2 bumper grommets inside a DS4 controller

Описание: Links for all the stuff I used and a text version of the guide are down below

In this tutorial, I show how to properly fix the worn out bumper grommets in a DS4 controller. Now this fix will void your controller warranty, so if your controller is still within the warranty, please send it to Sony for a replacement controller. Also, if something goes wrong with your attempt to fix your controller, I am NOT responsible, do this repair at your own risk.

supplies
small philips screw driver
flat-head screw driver (for those who are opening the controller for the first time)
tweezers or small needle nose pliers
silicone caulk or replacement grommets


(Text version of the guide)
1. remove the four philips head screws from the bottom of the controller
2. seperate the bottom shell from the top shell (if this is your first time taking the controller apart, use a flat-head screw driver, gently wedge it under the
ext port and gently pry the shell pieces apart), disconnect the USB ribbon cable from the main controller board.
3. gently remove the battery
4. remove the silver philips head screw that's holding the controller assembly to the top shell
5. with a pair of tweezers or small needle nose pliers, gently pull out the small ribbon cable for the touchpad and gently feed to through the hole its coming out.
6. with the screw and ribbon cable removed, remove the controller assembly from the top of the shell
7. for the L2/R2 buttons, GENTLY pull the buttons out of their latches WITHOUT disturbing the retention spring on the side of each button.
8. for the L1/R1 buttons, gently push up and pull the buttons out of the assembly tray
9. take the two rubber grommets out
9-A. If you're doing the silicone fix, take a small amount of silicone caulk and place it in the middle of the L2/R2 grommet pieces. Make sure the amount you place
is flush with the button itself and make sure you fill in the cuts in the walls of the button. Allow anywhere between 24-48 hrs of cure time to allow the silicone
to properly set. (optional), if you want to safeguard your fixed grommets, use some silicone caulk and evenly coat the piece of plastic on the back of the L2/R2
buttons that makes contact with the grommet. Again, allow anywhere between 24-48 hours to cure.
9-B If you bought replacement grommets, replace the bad grommets with the good ones
10. with the grommets fixed or replaced, follow steps 9-1 to reassemble the controller.
