Can we make a CLEAR Pixel 2 XL? - How to fix the Black Glass

Current Pixel 2 XL Back Glass pricing: amzn.to/2s55pee
Regular Pixel 2 Back Glass: amzn.to/2IJ9G1g
This Google Pixel 2 XL Is broken. Thanks to a hard airport walk way and the insecure grip of Mr. Mobile. The corner of this Pixel 2 is broken. Can it be fixed? Can we repair the glass of the Google Pixel 2? There is only one way to find out... In this video I show how I fix my google pixel 2 glass panel on the back of the phone. Its actually a pretty simple repair.
All I needed was a heat gun: amzn.to/2IMVHTV
And double sided tape: amzn.to/2GOPncE
And of course the glass pieces linked above.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Just buy some curved glass protector, uv loca glue (2000)and cure it with uv light. Works like a charm. I use this method for a year now, and my screen is beautiful as new.

Cheers for that! I've never done any phone repair and although this was minor I was worried, it's worried great on my standard pixel though (there seemed to be less delicate stuff under three glass thankfully!) Only thing I did differently as I don't have a heat gun is put the phone in the oven at 85 degrees C for 7 minutes at a time worked great!
