"Apple in its infinite wisdom and cost cutting measures has now fused the glass to the display. So it only comes as a complete unit. Here's how it's replaced: iMac Intel 27"" Retina 5K Display Display Replacement

Apple Part #661-00200

Reports have been posted of some that have separated the glass but none repaired successfully.

Most units available in the USA cost around $500. A China seller on eBay has it for $310 + $65 shipping. Warning, check the ratings on these sellers."

For small cracks (as long as there’s no missing piece of glass), I used windshield repair kit for cars, and it made the crack almost invisible. Costs about 10 bucks.

"Buying a functional iMac 5K with broken glass right now for a cheap price.

Wondering if anybody has found a glass part anywhere ?

I have a 2011 27in laying around the house, has anybody tried using that one ? Maybe by cutting off the metal parts at the bottom, it could fit ?

Thanks for your help."

It can be done, I have done it, I can’t find the actual glass anywhere for purchase, heat and air suction vacuum is the answer.
