Need Matte Screen Bezel

Hello, I recently replaced the LCD in my 17" Unibody MBP with matte screen. Unfortunately, removing the bezel was extremely difficult and I ended up bending it, so it is no longer in its true form, nor able to go back on.

If anyone knows of a way to get this part, new or used, in working condition, I would really appreciate it. My MBP looks half-naked now that the bezel is gone, and I don't know if it is safe or smart to leave it the way it is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

Will the glass bezel work on the model that comes with just the metal bezel? I thought about ordering that ... But wasn't sure if it would work. Here are two pix from my situation ... Here are two pix ...

http://laz.paravis.net/pix/bezel/bezel.j... -- This is the bezel, it's just a hollow metal frame ... That I bent :(

http://laz.paravis.net/pix/bezel/screen.... -- Here's how the screen looks without it. So the anti-glare LCD normally doesn't have a glass cover over it. How would it look with the glass? Any ideas?

I'd even be down to buy a display assembly from someone who has the anti-glare matte screen, that maybe broke theirs and replaced the whole thing--just to be able to take it apart CAREFULLY this time and not ruin the bezel ...

Did you find anything out did you buy the glass bezel? Did you try bending it back

This item is the front glass only.

None of these places carry the anti-glare/matte screen bezel ... And Apple says I have to buy the ENTIRE display assembly in order to replace that part. Not sure if the glass LCD bezel will work on my model or not. Check the pix I posted above.

It has the bezel though

3 oct. 2010 par rab777hp

It sure does have the bezel :). But since I have the matte screen, it doesn't come with a glass cover over the LCD. I wonder, if I got this, would it fit and would it work and look ok?? HMMM ... I'm so mad at Apple for not selling this part by itself (and a little mad at myself for bending my bezel!) ...
