Easy mod, just takes a little time.

Tools needed:
Hacksaw
20 razors
Fishing line
Gloves
Flathead screw driver

1)Start by cutting the rim adjacent to the AIO chambers. Then cut right before the corners on each side, forming 3 separate pieces of rim. Be careful not to cut too far and hit the glass.
2) Place the flat head under the edge of the rim. Push up and try to separate the silicone holding the rim on as much as possible. Slowly rock the piece of rim as you keep trying to separate silicone until the rim peels off. Be patient here.
3) When the rims are off, you'll see a bunch of black silicone still on the rim. Last and longest step is to get this off. Put on the gloves and take the fishing line. Wrap it around your hands like you are going to use it like a big piece of floss and drag it around the top rim removing as much silicone as you can.
4) Use the razors to scrape off all remaining silicone. Profit.

Good luck!
