    • Use the flat end of a spudger or your fingernail to scrape and remove the old adhesive from the phone body and back cover.

    • Pay attention to areas around the cameras and outer edge of the phone. Any remaining chunks will prevent your part from aligning properly.

    • 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.

    • Before placing the adhesive on the frame, use the cameras to ensure the adhesive's proper alignment.

    • Lay the adhesive on the frame.

    • Press down firmly on the adhesive along the perimeter of the midframe to secure it to the phone.

    • Grab the blue protective film's pull tab on the top of the phone and pull towards the bottom of the phone.

    • Pull carefully so the adhesive does not separate from the phone.

    • If your phone has a rear fingerprint sensor, make sure to secure it in its cutout on the back cover before proceeding.

    • Align the back cover over the back of the phone.

    • Press down firmly for one minute along the perimeter of the back cover and camera bezel to secure it with the new adhesive.
