Took it apart... It's literally glued to the screen glass. Apple removed the original glass from the LED monitor and fused it to their glass. You cannot replace just the glass.

I was able to successfully remove just glass cause I cracked it just a little but turns out you can’t even buy just the glass alone for this model you can only buy glass only for previous models. So even if you do remove this glass there’s no other option that to replace lcd as well. It’s similar to fixing iPhone screen glass only and peeling slowly from loca glue.

Yeah, I didn't even get close to separating the screen and the glass. Instant breakage. I wish I could find a %#*@ screen for this thing... ^*&^&)*^*(&)*

Here's where I got mine. I had originally bought the glass, hoping to remount it to the LCD. No such luck, it's fused and would require tools and experience I didn't have.
