Introduction

Follow this guide to replace the camera bezel and back cover adhesive pads in your Motorola phone. This process is a general procedure that applies to any Motorola phone with a plastic back cover and separate camera bezel.

If your back cover comes off in one piece, follow this guide.

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

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

    • Peel and remove the white adhesive backing from the camera bezel's new adhesive pad.

  3. OFaKAMhuqW4HVJOL

    • In this step, you'll use the camera module bumps to help align the adhesive to the camera bezel.

    • Lay the adhesive pad over the cameras, with the sticky side facing upward.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger or your fingers to remove the old adhesive from the back cover.

    • Any remaining adhesive will prevent the cover from seating properly.

    • If you're having trouble removing the adhesive, apply a heated iOpener to soften the adhesive.

    • Applying isopropyl alcohol turns the adhesive into a messy residue and is not recommended for this step.

    • Line up the new adhesive on the phone and lay it onto the frame.

    • Be very careful aligning the adhesive. It's very sticky, and only properly adheres the first time.

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