Introduction

Use this guide to apply new adhesive in your Google Pixel 6 following a repair. Your Pixel’s screen should be removed before following this procedure. Follow this guide to remove the screen if you haven’t done so already.

What you need

Step 1

              Clean the frame

Any residual adhesive or debris will prevent your screen from sealing properly.
Use the flat end of your spudger to scrape off as much adhesive as you can.
Use caution not to damage the spring connectors near the perimeter of the frame.
Use tweezers or your fingers to peel and remove any remaining adhesive.
Clean the perimeter of the frame with a small amount of highly-concentrated isopropyl alcohol (over 90%) and a lint-free or microfiber cloth.

              Apply the adhesive

Be very careful during this step! The adhesive is very sticky and can’t be repositioned once it sticks. Misaligned adhesive can lead to an improper seal.
Lay the adhesive onto the frame, starting with the bottom or top edge. Make small corrections as you go.
There are holes in the bottom left and top right corners to help align the adhesive.
