Thank you! I had an iPad Mini 3 with a bulging battery that had lifted the glass and display away from the body of the iPad. I purchased the repair kit + battery replacement kit and was able to install the new battery using these instructions. I took extra time to make sure the glass and display were not damaged from the bulging battery, but it made it a little easier to get the glass off since most of the adhesive had already been lifted off. I used Goo Gone and one of the blue plastic spudgers to remove the old adhesive from the glass and from the case.

I would have liked to have seen instructions on installing the replacement adhesive but figured it out. I cut some of the long pieces into smaller pieces to make it more manageable, especially the section under the digitizer ribbon. Also, there wasn’t a mention of the two, small, metal pieces that stick to the adhesive in two of the corners to help support the glass over the display screws. I made sure to save those and replace them.
