    • Pick and scrape away the old adhesive from the frame.

    • Use a spudger to scrape away any lingering adhesive.

    • Don't use metal tools to scrape away adhesive as this will damage the frame.

    • For best results, clean the area underneath the removed adhesive with 90% or greater isopropyl alcohol to prep the surface for the new adhesive.

    • Repeat the previous step for the back cover adhesive.

    • Don't use metal tools to scrape away adhesive as this will damage the back cover coating.

    • 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.

    • Lower the adhesive onto the frame.

    • Use the holes in the frame to properly align the adhesive.
