On my Excel the pad was just glued down. I replaced it with another slightly thicker pad and just used velcro to hold in place.

yes, it's clued on with a thick transparent material. Very tough. But with patience it does come off. Be careful with a knife, you don't want to scratch the mica beneath.

I wouldn't try to remove it "chemically", although mica is very chemical resistant.
