Introduction

Use this guide to apply new adhesive in your Google Pixel 6 Pro 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 tweezers or your fingers to peel and remove any remaining adhesive.
  • Take care not to puncture the battery with your tweezers—a punctured battery may leak dangerous chemicals or cause a fire.
  • Clean the perimeter of the frame with a small amount of highly-concentrated isopropyl alcohol (over 90%) and a lint-free or microfiber cloth.
