      • The adhesive remaining on the phone is difficult to remove and leaves residue. If you have trouble removing the adhesive, apply some heat using a hair dryer or heat gun.

      • Use a spudger to push the screen adhesive up until you can grab it with a pair of tweezers.

      • Use a pair of tweezers, or your fingers, to remove the adhesive around the entire perimeter of the iPhone.

      • Any unevenness will compromise the iPhone's seal. Clean the frame thoroughly.

      • Apply a few drops of high-concentration (greater than 90%) isopropyl alcohol to a cotton swab or lint-free cloth.

      • Wipe along the perimeter of the frame to clean the adhesive residue.

      • Wait a few minutes before proceeding to make sure any excess alcohol has evaporated.

      • Once the adhesive is pressed into place, you can't reposition it—you'll have to remove it and start over with new adhesive.

      • Use the pull tab to begin peeling the back liner off of the adhesive starting from the bottom, but don't remove it all the way.

      • While holding the back liner out of the way, carefully align the exposed edge of the adhesive to the bottom edge of the iPhone's frame.

      • When the adhesive is aligned, set it down along the bottom edge.

      • Continue peeling the back liner off of the adhesive while setting the adhesive into place along the edges of the iPhone's frame.

      • If you correctly aligned the lower edge of the adhesive, the side and top edges will fall perfectly into place. If the adhesive is misaligned, remove it and start over with new adhesive.

      • If you don't have another one handy, it's okay to put your iPhone back together without adhesive, but keep in mind that it won't be water resistant until you install new adhesive.

      • Once the top liner is removed, there should be three narrow liners on top of the adhesive with pull tabs near the bottom edge.

      • Your pull tabs may be in different positions.

      • If you don't see these pull tabs, you may have accidentally removed the thin liners in the previous step. Be careful not to touch anything to the exposed adhesive.
