Use this guide to apply new screen adhesive in your Google Pixel 7 following a repair.
Retaining water resistance after the repair will depend on how well you reapply the adhesive, but your device will lose its IP (Ingress Protection) rating.
Note: This guide is written with the Pixel 6, but the procedure is the same.

Link for the adhesive
Do not force anything during any step of this guide. Like most sensitive electronics, force is rarely if ever required.
Take your time, be patient, if something is proving to be tricky take a small break and come back to it in a few minutes.
Things I felt should be included in guide or I had issue with:
1. You might end up cracking or breaking the original screen as you insert the pry tools. If replacing the whole screen, this should not matter to you and it’s ok if you notice cracks or breaks.
2. You want to aim for under the black plastic frame that is UNDER the screen to insert your pry tool.
3. Have extra alcohol wipes or isopropyl alcohol on hand. Repair kit only comes with 1 wipe (seriously??). You can use goo gone if you have some but USE SPARINGLY DO NOT SATURATE. Allow time to air out and evaporate before applying new adhesive. I was able to remove about 95% of old adhesive this way.
4. When you think you’re ready to reassemble, don’t forget the bracket and adhesive before sealing the new screen!!!
This guide is showing photos of the wrong phone (my guess is that it's the Pixel 7 PRO). My phone's screen detached from the top of the inner plastic frame rather than the bottom. That frame is black, and because these photos show the device without the screen and the inner rim being black (not the case with the Pixel 7), I incorrectly assumed that the frame was not to be removed and this resulted in wasting the adhesive because it was no longer usable. Please update this guide to use the proper device. Had I seen that the inside of the phone rim where the adhesive is supposed to go was the wrong colour, I may have been able to catch this before.
