Help with instaling the back glass adhesive

I purchased the rear cover adhesive from iFixit to replaced the battery. Everything went well until I started the apply the the cover adhesive. I found this step to be very difficult. I am not sure if I did it correctly? Can someone tell me what part of the adhesive stays on the back cover ? Is it ONLY the narrow (sliver) piece that fits around the perimeter ? If so, I found that this sliver of adhesive not to be sticky on BOTH sides . Is there a video online that fully illustrates how this part is installed ? Many thanks

Looking at the kit provided by iFixit, I believe you have 3 separate adhesive pieces for the rear cover. Before starting you will need to remove all leftover adhesive for a good seal.

  • The large rectangle piece needs to be attached black side to the frame and/or silver side to the back cover
  • The ā€œUā€ shaped island adhesive needs to go around the rear camera (should fit visual cues around camera)
  • The last island adhesive piece needs to be attached on the bottom (again should fit visual cues)

The island pieces are black on both sides but will only fit one way. Hope this helps!
