The display cover is coming off on the bottom left corner

The aluminum cover is coming off on the bottom left side (when facing the open display) if I pull it gently it separates almost all the way up the left side. I saw similar mentions on 15" MBP and they mentioned glue had come loose. I don't see where is was glued. Ifixit only shows replacing the entire display assembly so I don't know how this was assembled.

Here are some pictures to help visualize the issue.

My bet is that the frame is broken about 1.25" above the bottom of the left hand corner. I've seen a lot of these breaks at that point. I repaired them with a heavy application of super glue to the break and then reinforcement with epoxy.

The frame is supposed to be glued to the back aluminum panel and that frame has come n undone. One of your pictures shows the frame and the yellow dried glue.

That's where you need to apply some fresh glue (preferably epoxy like Mayer said) and clamp.

Mind the LCD, you don't want to break it or have epoxy oozing out or onto the LCD and front glass from the inside so don't use too much and leave flat upside down until the glue has dried and won't run.

Not an answer but a question.…

My son’s 2012 13” MacBook Pro is exhibiting the same behavior. I cannot see a break in the frame but I will have to look again. I do see a lot of old, dried adhesive. What I am wondering is what adhesive to use to repair the separation? Both Mayer and Rany mention epoxy, but which one? Would the adhesive strips used to hold an iMac’s display in place work?

Also, do I need to carefully pry/remove the aluminum case from the display, clean up all of the old adhesive, and then apply new adhesive? (I am assuming I would have to remove the case to repair the frame.)
