Introduction
In this guide, we are going to replace a Google Pixel 2 rear camera lens glass. Note that this is a glass replacement, not a lens replacement.
Take caution not to scratch the lens when removing the glass in Steps 2 and 3.
What you need
Step 1
Rear Camera Lens Glass
- Blow dry the broken or scratched rear lens glass until it is a little bit too hot to touch.
- In this process, the adhesive attaching the lens to the lens frame is melted enough so the lens is easier to remove.

Step 4

- Use a wooden toothpick to gently apply the silicone sealant to the ledges of the inside shelf of the lens frame.
- The sealant does not dry quickly, so take your time applying the silicone evenly around the edges.
