Screen detached from plastic safety frame

The battery was swollen and pushed the screen out, and when opening the phone I didn’t realise that instead of separating the screen with its frame from the chassis I was actually separating the screen from the safety frame.

The photo above should make it clearer.

Now I imagine the obvious answer would be to get a replacement screen but tbh having already spent 80€ for the battery kit I don’t think it’s worth it (also the screen is fine)

Any chance I can reassemble the screen and frame? What glue could work?

Answer this question I have this problem too

I ended up carefully cleaning frame and screen with isopropyl alcohol, then used a thin layer of T8000, let it dry a few hours before proceeding with reassembling the screen to the device, and finally leaving the phone under a stack of books for 24 hours.

I guess I'll have to report back in some time to see if it holds, but for now the result was quite good. It's most likely not waterproof anymore but I mean, at least it won't blow up anymore.
