Hi, I need to replace the LCD rubber bezel which has dry rotted off. I've seen many videos replacing the bezel but it's always with the LCD assembly removed from the laptop.
Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the bezel without removing the LCD from the laptop?
I can't tell if there are any parts that lie under other parts that need to be removed first, like the hinge covers.

If the original Display cable is working (back light) but the screens color is off or distorted that's a LCD failure. As for the replacement Display cable it is damaged in some way as backlight power lines are damaged either at the connector ends or cable. The tang can be easily damaged as it's only thin fiberglass.
Here's a good teardown on the this systems display MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Early 2015 Teardown which should help seeing things.

Yea it was distorted pink and flickering but the flickering would travel down the LCD so I could see all the pixels were intact and powered on.
Does this mean a new LVDS cable is worth a shot at all or the whole LCD isn't worth saving and I need to get a whole new screen assembly?
@dannish - Sadly, the LCD driver logic (T-CON) inside the display is failing from what you are describing. So no the cable won’t fix this.
@danj - Ah that sucks, I'll try to source a complete LCD assembly then, appreciate your help!
@dannish - don't forget to score the answers and accept one of them as well.

I have done this a few times and it is possible to do without removing the display providing that you not remove the lower part that covers behind the clutch cover as this is glued down and can very easily break some fragile glass part that is hidden under the edges (You can see it is a bigger rubber part (Hinge cover)), so I just cut the rubber before this. You may need a heat gun to fully do it all including the hinge cover. So, using a plastic tool or the like you can scrape out the old rubber making sure it is ALL removed otherwise the new gasket will not sit fully in. There are some YT videos on techniques to do this job, it is tedious and delicate so be careful not to 'slip' and put a scratch on the anti-glare coating.

Great, if I remove the LCD panel, will I still need a heat gun to remove the rubber section behind the clutch cover? I'm just hoping that it's dry rotted enough that it will flake off, if it's stuck on I may just leave it and call it a day since it's non-essential, was just hoping to get it done as I replace the LVDS cable.
@dannish The rubber slots into a groove and the clutch cover will hold it in there so it is possible and easier to do it with the clutch cover still fixed. the tension made from the covering on the hinges helps support that, BUT, there it is glued on and as mentioned before it is stuck to the LCD and VERY fragile thin glass which is very easy to crack! and there is a very thin cable in there also so super extra caution is needed there. Personally, I just cut the rubber at the point where it meets that covering part, if done well you wont notice it. Safer than sorry. Just massage the bezel into position and avoid stretching it, inch by inch gently does it and you'll be fine. Just make sure you get out all of the old bezel beforehand, some maybe slightly under the LCD edge so be careful. You do not want to try to remove the whole LCD panel as these are very fragile and a very very high chance that it will be busted!. Watch a few of them videos to get the full lowdown on what to expect before starting.
@livfe Alright will give it a go, if it's stuck I'll cut around it like you said. Appreciate your help!
@dannish Remember to cover the screen before working on the bezel, I suggest similar to the guide I posted for the anti-glare cleanup, good luck!
@livfe So I took it apart, the rubber pretty much crumbled into dust the moment the clutch cover came off. Managed to clean up all the fragments by running tweezers down the gap and got the new rubber on perfectly level with just a bit of trimming in a couple spots to manage the excess.
Unfortunately changing the lvds cable didn't really help, the screen went black after changing the cable. Changing the cable back made it go back to the moving glitchy pink issue that it originally had, so I know I didn't break the LCD.
I'm completely stumped. If it wasn't the cable then changing the cable shouldn't make any difference. Yet changing the cable makes a difference, it's just worse than before.

Yes, on a MacBook Pro 13-inch, it’s generally possible to replace the LCD rubber bezel (display gasket) without removing the entire LCD assembly, but it requires patience. The rubber bezel is adhered around the edge of the glass and can be peeled off carefully while the display is still attached. However, you must open the lid fully, disconnect power, and protect the screen with tape to avoid scratches. The hinge covers do not sit over the bezel, so they don’t need removal. Use gentle heat to soften adhesive, clean residue thoroughly, and align the new gasket precisely.
