Pixel 10 Back Glass Installation

Before installing new adhesive, all the old adhesive and its residue must be completely removed from the frame.

Use the point of a spudger to remove all the old screen adhesive from the frame. Try to "roll" the adhesive onto itself so it balls up, making it easier to remove.

If you're having trouble removing smaller chunks, apply a single drop of high‑concentration (>90%) isopropyl alcohol and scrape them up with your spudger.

Wrap a microfiber or lint‑free cloth around a spudger and apply a single drop of high‑concentration (>90%) isopropyl alcohol to the end.

Use the spudger to clean up all the remaining adhesive residue from the frame, applying more drops of alcohol as necessary.

Let the alcohol dry completely before continuing.

If you're reinstalling your original back glass, repeat the procedures in the previous two steps on the back glass to clean it.

Hold the adhesive above the frame to find its orientation. Use the rear camera cutout in the liner to help visualize how it will lay in the frame.

Peel down the top half of the large, clear liner to expose the adhesive—don't fully remove the liner yet.

With the larger, clear liner folded towards the bottom of the phone, lay the exposed top edge of the adhesive onto the frame.

Once the top edge is properly aligned, gently press down on the top corners to secure the adhesive.

Slowly lay the rest of the adhesive onto the frame, pressing it into place and peeling away the larger liner as you go.

Use a spudger to press down firmly on the adhesive to secure it to the frame.

Slowly peel up and remove the large colored liner, gripping it from the cutout near the top edge.

Use a spudger to press down firmly on the adhesive to secure it to the frame.

Remove all liners from the underside of the back glass, paying special attention to the front camera cutouts and bottom edge.

Apply a suction handle to the back glass and prop it up on the left side of your phone, so the cable is near its connector.

Use the flat end of a spudger to connect the back glass press connector to its socket.

Put the cable's bracket back in place, making sure the tab on the right edge goes under its groove.

Use a Torx Plus 3IP screwdriver to install the two 5.0 mm‑long screws securing the bracket.

Remove the remaining liners from the back glass adhesive.

Flip the back glass onto the frame and press it firmly into place.

Hold your phone up and squeeze firmly around the perimeter to strengthen the bond.
