    2013 iMac 27" Cracked Glass Replacement

    The glass on my 2013 iMac has cracked following an accident, and I was wondering if it was possible to replace just the glass and not the LCD. If so, how might I go about separating the LCD panel from the glass? Is it held on by glue/adhesive? Thanks.
