I’ve done dozens of post-mid2011 21.5” an 27” iMacs (thin edges, no optical drive) and all of them used double-sided tape to connect the fused glass display to the iMac’s aluminum frame. They open as shown here: https://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/imac_21inch_late_2013_hdd/ <https://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/imac_21inch_late_2013_hdd/> > Of all the iMacs I've had to do surgery on, only one had the foam tape... We’re not discussing a difference between “foam tape” and double-sided tape without foam in between its adhesive sides, are we? Because if the display is not attached to the aluminum frame with double sided VHB style tape, how does the display keep from falling off? There are not screws or brackets to hold it in place. -david
