Step 1

How to Replace the Adhesive for Your Google Pixel 6a

Make sure to clean up any leftover adhesive or debris from the frame, or your screen won’t seal properly and you’ll be stuck with a gap – not what you want after all your hard work!

– Grab your trusty spudger and gently scrape away as much of that pesky adhesive from the frame as you can. It’s like a little spa day for your device!

– Next up, use your fingers or some tweezers to peel off any stubborn bits of adhesive that are still hanging around. You’ve got this!

– Now, let’s tidy up! Take a small amount of highly-concentrated isopropyl alcohol (over 90%) and a lint-free or microfiber cloth to clean the edges of the frame. A little shine goes a long way!

Step 2

– If you’re giving your screen a second chance, make sure to give it a good cleaning, just like you did with the frame.

Step 3

Utilize the upper loudspeaker cutout and some conductive tape to help you get that adhesive just right!

– Before you start peeling off any liners, take a moment to lay the adhesive down with the clear liner facing the frame. This way, you can easily find the right fit before getting to work!

Step 4

– Carefully remove the clear liner from the adhesive.

Step 5

Take it easy during this step! The adhesive is super sticky and once it grabs hold, there’s no turning back. If it’s not lined up just right, you might end up with a less-than-perfect seal.

– Apply the adhesive to the frame, starting at either the top or bottom edge. Take your time and make any necessary adjustments as you go along.

Step 6

– Grab a spudger or just your trusty fingers and gently press around the edges of the adhesive, making sure it sticks nicely to the frame. You’ve got this!

Step 7

– Locate the pull tab on the upper right corner of the frame and gently peel away the main liner.

Step 8

– Take a look at the front-facing camera hole on your new screen and gently peel away any pesky protective liners hanging around.

– Inspect the sensor cutout on the replacement screen and cheerfully remove any extra protective liners that might be lingering there.

Step 9

Don’t forget to put the display cable bracket back in place!

– Time to flip back to your phone’s guide and keep putting the pieces together!

– Wrap up this guide once your screen is snugly in place and you’re set to give your phone a final seal!

Step 10

– Now it’s time to get that liner off – grab the pull tab at the bottom edge of the frame and gently peel it away.

Step 11

– Gently flip that screen over and place it onto the frame like a pro!

– Now, give a little press along the edges of the screen to make sure it’s snug as a bug!

Success!
