Introduction

Use this guide to apply replacement adhesive to your Pixel 2’s display.

Before you begin, you should already have removed the Pixel 2’s display. Detailed instructions for removing the display can be found here.

What you need

Step 1

              Display Adhesive

Remove any trace of the old adhesive from the Pixel 2’s case.
If you’re reinstalling your existing display, be sure to remove any remaining adhesive from the back of your display as well.
Take special care to remove any small glass fragments.
After removing all traces of glue and glass, clean the adhesion areas with high concentration isopropyl alcohol (at least 90%). This will ensure a better seal for the display.
If your new display doesn’t come with speaker grilles or a front-facing camera bracket, make sure to install those before applying display adhesive.

Step 6

Use tweezers to peel away the blue backing over top of the adhesive without peeling the adhesive off of the case.
If the adhesive starts to come off of the case as you remove the backing, you may need to slide a spudger in between the adhesive and the backing to hold the adhesive down.

Do not touch adhesive at any point, you might mess up the forming of the adhesive.
