This is not entirely correct. For the proper way to replaced this glass, you need to remove the back cover as well, in order to connect the digitizer flex cable to the board.

The following steps are completely missing:

• remove the backcover with a pick or Spudger running between back cover and body.

• flip up the lock for the flex cable with a spudger

• slide the flex cable through the body and remove the display

• slide the flex cable of a new display throught the body to the backside

• connect the flex cable to the connector (be aware of correct aligning) and flip down the lock

• glue the display back to the body (do not use much pressure as it may crack the new display!)

• clip back on the back cover
