In search of replacement glass for 2017 iMac pro
Am I out of luck looking to replace cracked glass on '17 imac pro? I fiind many listings for repair kits but most stop at 2011 imacs.
Is dit een goede vraag?

The glass and the display are connected on this model and not easily separable. They are usually sold assembled together as a single component. Here's an example of a used one for sale on eBay. Good luck!

Appreciate the eBay link, Zachary. I've watched a couple break down videos and found replacement glass for '11 and older iMacs. I was hoping the same process could be accomplished on the pro models, new glass kit with adhesive strips. Monitor is all good except for crack that travels from lower left corner to upper right. I planned to bump up ram while I'm at it.
The design of the 2011 and earlier models had glass that was easily removable from the display—the 2012 and later models have glass that is integrated into the display. In the 2012 and later models the glass and the display are typically replaced together as a unit, whereas on earlier models the glass could be replaced on its own.
This is the info I was in search of. Unfortunately, not that it's what I wanted to hear!
