Don't try to "collapse " - this set is definitely worth it!

Adhesive strips, however, were a different story. There were two main problems with tape; fit and glue. I bought this kit for a 2017 27" iMac. One of the stripes at the top of the screen didn't exactly match some of the contours of the area. Nothing bad, but a feeling of neglect. The fit was that the stripe…

  • Includes the tapes needed to properly reattach a 2012 or newer iMac 21.5" or 27" screen
Cons
  • No
