If the glass you are replacing is badly broken the suction cups may not attach. I ended up having to remove the glass piece by piece and the process took a couple of hours. You should wear protective glasses and wear rubber gloves to prevent getting finger prints on the lcd screen. Although this was a time consuming process I was successful removing the broken glass and replacing without any issues.
I actually had the same problem as David but in 2 hrs I had removed all of the glass pieces. Now my MB looks like it had never fallen!
Thanks ifixit, you saved me €450.
PS. the parts were in Belgium in 3.5 days, I was amazed at how fast it was.
I found it more convenient to lay the computer keyboard-down on a table with the display hanging over the edge while performing steps 11–15.
The need for a hot air gun greatly increases the possibility of damaging various parts of the laptop [keyboard, airport antenna assembly, clutch cover, strip around the screen, even the screen, possibly the two brackets --- which allow the top and bottom cases to fold together for the clamshell effect --- which are not metal but rather plastic painted to look like metal]. Some people have spent the extra money to buy a special hot air gun with a small focused spout. But, the smarter, simpler, approach is to forget about replacing just the front glass cover and replace the entire display assembly instead. iFixIt is currently out of stock of entire display assemblies, but you can find them elsewhere on the Net for $100 or less. Instead of buying iFixIt's glass cover and recommended tools, I could have bought the entire display assembly for about the same money.
