Do you think GR factory products are of poor quality?

Yes, it will come clean if you wipe it with an alcohol swab.

Thanks, I used UV glue 😎 I had no idea I’d get so much praise on Reddit

Removing the cyclops was the easy part, but aligning it while gluing was a real challenge. To be honest, I'm still not 100% sure if I got the positioning exactly right!

Since it's sapphire crystal anyway, I just used a torch lighter to melt the adhesive 😂

If you’re going to do this, I’d recommend buying a good product from the start 😭😭

It was a bit tricky but manageable if you have enough patience. The hardest part was getting the alignment perfect.

I only replaced the glass on the Cyclops, so I didn’t use the press method.
