The screen of the Google Pixel 7 is held in place by a safety frame of plastic clips and adhesive.

During the removal procedure, make sure to insert your opening picks under the safety frame to avoid separating it from the screen.

Only insert the pick up to ~3.5 mm during the removal procedure to avoid damaging the internals and to avoid interfering with the plastic clips.

There are several plastic clips around the whole screen. In case your opening pick gets blocked during the screen removal procedure it means you inserted your pick too deep underneath the screen.
