iFixit Adhesive Strips Compatible with iMac Intel 27" (2012-2019) - Repair Kit

At this point I’ve applied this adhesive set and have now removed it due to a loose connection after sealing up the iMac. Now being on both sides of the install/removable process I can give a better review. The adhesion is great, definitely superior to Apple’s stock adhesive, this held of much better and was more difficult to remove than stock. It was also easier to clean up & remove and residual adhesive with alcohol. The stock apple adhesive required a lot of cleaning and scrubbing with alcohol to remove it. I purchased another set of this adhesive after fixing the loose connection and will be applying it soon.Make sure to clean any/all old adhesive before applying new, this will ensure a great seal.

These work well and have strong adhesive.

Not much to say, the product was easy to use and so far at least, my screen has stayed together. The job was far easier than I expected and these strips are a pleasure to use.

These seemed to be of decent quality when I received them. I ended up returning them as my computer ended up working and I did not have to remove the screen. I would probably try this brand in the future if I ever needed to work on my iMac.

After a successful upgrade of the hard drive and SSD in my 2019 iMac I used the iFixit adhesive strips to re-attach the LCD panel to the front of the computer. Everything was great - for a little while.Four days later, I walk into my home office and find a broken screen on my desktop after the adhesive had failed and the panel did what gravity wanted it to do.Looking at the back of the LCD panel and the computer, it looks like the adhesive failed fairly evenly and consistently all around the screen.For extra irony, this happened after I had removed and replaced the screen again because the instructions on iFixit's web site were missing important information about motherboard alignment in the chassis (I submitted a correction, and was not the first person to note the issue in the comments).

I needed to upgrade a failing hard drive in my 2013 iMac 27”. This kit allowed me to remove the screen, replace the drive, and reinstall the screen like I’d never touched it. Be sure and watch one of the many YouTube videos providing specific instructions.

I was opening up my 2017 27" iMac Retina 5K to replace the hard drive with SSD. One of the parts I bought came with a different brand of adhesive strips, but the reviews were often pretty negative – the adhesive didn't hold. The friend who was helping me with this project had also used that brand a few months before and had warned me to buy only the iFixit version. The other brand lost adhesion and his monitor fell forward, with only the monitor power and data cables to keep it from completely crashing and cracking.I trust iFixit – it was their how-to that we were following. So I decided to trust them in this. It's been two weeks now, and it's gotten both pretty hot (80-84 degrees) and humid (60%+) in my home office. For the first few days I kept painters tape around the corners to be safe. The I removed the tape from the top corners and waited. I finally felt comfortable enough to remove the tape from the bottom corners today. I feel like I can be confident the strips won't lose adhesion and the glass won't fall.The peace of mind alone is worth the extra money I spent, and the other brand strips that are now sitting in a drawer until I decide to get rid of them.

Perfect fit, worked great for my Late 2017 27" imac.
