Use this guide to replace a cracked or damaged top cover in your Polaroid I-2 camera.
The clips securing the plastic covers are strong and require significant prying. Don't use metal tools to avoid marring the plastic.
Some photos in this guide may contain slight visual discrepancies, but they won't affect the procedure.
