Google Pixel 7 Back Glass Replacement

Back Glass Replacement is one of the most common repairs for Google Pixel 7. This repair involves replacing the damaged housing component with a new or refurbished part. The process typically takes 1-3 hours and requires difficult skill level.

What You'll Need

• Replacement housing part (OEM or aftermarket)
• Precision screwdriver set (Phillips #000 or pentalobe)
• Opening tools (plastic spudger, suction cup)
• Adhesive strips or glue
• Clean workspace with good lighting

Step-by-Step Process

Step 1:

Heat the camera glass with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive.

Step 2: Remove the Damaged Glass

Using a knife, carefully remove the broken glass covering the camera sensors.

After removing all glass, carefully clean the camera lenses with a microfiber cloth. ***Be cautious of any glass fragments that may remain.***

Step 3: Insert the Replacement Glass

Beware that replacement of the glass can cause many problems, specifically with the new adhesive clouding up pictures.

Insert the new glass with the adhesive side up (unfortunately, if the adhesive layer faces the camera, the image will be blurry).

Step 4: Apply Full-Surface Protective Glass Cover

Put on a full-surface glass protector. Make sure that no dust collects between the cover and the device/camera glass.
