Thanks for the great service to Fixit!
Do not listen to this comment. Sounded like a nice short cut, ended up melting the F9 through F12 keys because of the proximity while heating. Its also impossible to imagine, unless your screen is uncracked and suction cup works for you, how you would run along the edge with a pry tool without the lower body getting in the way.
Lesson learned: Do all the steps, remove the top/display half of the computer before screen removal.

Yeah don't listen to this comment. I replace Macbook Pro glass regularly and this is one of the worst ways to do it. I never replace glass without taking the screen assembly from the MacBook first.
The reason why I always separate the screen assembly from the MacBook is because it's just going to increase the difficulty of taking off the glass so much to the point that you regret that you wasted your time trying this and you could of done it in less time if you took the screen off from the MacBook.

If the glass you are replacing is badly broken the suction cups may not attach. I ended up having to remove the glass piece by piece and the process took a couple of hours. You should wear protective glasses and wear rubber gloves to prevent getting finger prints on the lcd screen. Although this was a time consuming process I was successful removing the broken glass and replacing without any issues.
I had the same issue just be very cautious and try to keep everything as clean as possible the entire time. But I'm glad to say, it worked and it looks brand new. Thank you so much to ifixit and also with the help of ebay i fixed it for only $28. Good luck to the next person and if you don't have steady hands you may want to get someone else to do it haha.
