Chosen Solution
I am planning on mounting a new 13” LCD panel on a Mid 2014 MBP. From what I’ve read and seen, you must execute several steps in exact order. If you skip any of them inadvertently, or misalign the panel, you must correct the problem by unmounting the panel. This is the only part of the procedure that terrifies me most as it poses a high risk of cracking an expensive panel. Are there any double-sided tapes or adhesives available for mounting the LCD which doesn’t instantly form a high strength bond, giving you the ability to align or remove the LCD more easily, if needed?
When I do replace the cover glass panel on the older Unibody’s I use Tesa 61395 Tape As long as you don’t press it down firmly you can still shift the glass if needed. Then, once in place I put a 5 lb weight which presses evenly across the entire surface via a cut piece of plywood covered with felt.
I hope you are not thinking about working on the guts of a Retina display. Here’s how to replace the display assembly: MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Mid 2014 Display Assembly Replacement
