The individual adhesive strips are labeled to indicate their correct location as shown in the replacement guides. The unique design of the 27" iMac requires the replacement of the adhesive strips whenever the display assembly is removed. Fortunately, these adhesive strips are actually a foam tape, easily cut with an iMac Opening Wheel. Unfortunately, the display has to be removed every time anything needs to be replaced or upgraded inside the machine. Note: The adhesive bond of these strips depends on complete cleaning and preparation of the application surfaces of your iMac case and display assembly. Before installation Remove all previous adhesive and residue. Clean application surfaces with 90% (or greater) isopropyl alcohol. Without proper surface preparation the adhesive bond may fail and severe damage to your iMac may result. Review: Don't settle for less - 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. Review: Works great - 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. ## Features - This complete set of replacement adhesive strips is specifically cut to be compatible with 27" iMacs from Late 2012 to 2019 and the iMac Pro. - The individual adhesive strips are labeled to indicate their correct location as shown in the replacement guides. - Kit Contents: New Adhesive Strips compatible with iMac Intel 27" (2012-2019), iMac Opening Wheel - Compatible with iMac Intel 27" A1419 Late 2012 to 2015, iMac Intel 27" Retina 5K Display 2019 A2115 EMC 3194. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08MW5FYJ9 | | Adhesive Format | Strip | | Best Sellers Rank | #90 in Computer & Mobile Device Repair Kits | | Brand | iFixit | | Brand Name | iFixit | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 197 Reviews | | Item Weight | 0.04 Pounds | | Manufacturer | iFixit | | Material | Foam | | Material Type | Foam | | Model | IF174-060-1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Foam-Based, Customizable for Specific Devices | | Part Number | IF174-060-1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Indoor | | Special Feature | Foam-Based, Customizable for Specific Devices | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Sold as-is; no refunds or returns | ## Images ![iFixit Adhesive Strips Compatible with iMac Intel 27" (2012-2019) - Repair Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51VKsQGf7lL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where is the “replacement guide”?** A: Thanks for your question!
