Right, Left…nothing straight-forward about this procedure, it’s moderately difficult simply due to the shear number of TLDR instructions and steps with no precise instructions on which side of the adhesive faces up or down. Clear backing? the strips that arrived for my repair were all stuck on one clear backing sheet with white “backing” and I just had to slog through it. Not an easy job. I did use the sticky clear backing sheet to pick up all the dust motes off the glass surfaces before I reassembled and that was a plus.
