How to Apply New Back Glass Adhesive in Your Google Pixel Fold

Make sure the clear liner is facing the frame. You got this!

– Before you go peeling back any liners, make sure the adhesive is a match for the frame. You wouldn’t want to use the wrong stuff, would you?

– Look for any cutouts in the liner. These can help you figure out how to position the adhesive. It’s like a puzzle, but with sticky stuff.

Step 2

Take it easy during this step! It’s super easy to accidentally stick that adhesive in the wrong place, so just slow your roll and enjoy the process.

– Time to get sticky! Peel off the new adhesive strip from its clear liner.

– Now, line up the adhesive over the frame, starting with the top right and bottom right edges.

– Stick it to the perimeter of the frame. It’s like giving the frame a big hug!

Step 3

– Gently press down the adhesive with the flat end of a spudger or your fingers to make sure it sticks nicely to the frame. You’ve got this!
