Back in August 2011 my sister had a Nokia C7 whose touchpad was damaged and thus replaced..but the technician did not remove the plastic protector on the touchpad and assembled the phone. Thus it looked very bad with the protector sandwiched between the screen and touchpad. So to prevent further charges and waste of time I decided to do it myself.
I found this Tutorial on YouTube for disassembling a Nokia C7 (thanks a lot LE55ONS) and thankfully I had all the tools mentioned.
Scariest part was removing separating the base plate housing the 3 buttons with a plastic knife as there was danger of breaking the joints. But I managed it successfully. My Dad was more scared than I was as a C7 costed upto Rs.17,000 back then. It was a risk that paid off and was totally worth the experience!
Note: I did this only because laptop was out of warranty. Doing so may void your warranty if dealer comes to know. If you are confident...go ahead! :)

Here are some photos and steps
1)First remove the base and unscrew the screen (careful not to pull at connecting bus wire).
2) Remove the plastic protector.
3) Clean the touchpad thoroughly with KleenSafe ScratchGard liquid and a soft cloth.
4) Assemble the phone.
5) Make a memory! :)
