How do you glue the back on? It looks like the adhesive that holds it on is messed up bad when it's removed.
You have to use double sided tape for electronics. They sell it on amazon. Use 5mm or wider to make sure the screen doesn’t fall out. Heat after application to make sure the glue sets properly.
Screen came off just fine using a hair dryer, but my Surface Pro 2 differs from these directions. Specifically, I got stuck not being able to remove the bezel because I don't have a T2 bit. My bezel screws are 5 x T5, 14 x T3, and 4 x T2. That doesn't match the photo shown here in step 3.
