There were 3 important steps missing from this guide when replacing my original glossy 13" display for the new matte one. As mentioned, one was peeling the backing off the silver grounding tape. This is presumably a fairly serious omission, assuming that without peeling the backing off, the display can never be properly grounded?
The other two omissions were:
1. peeling off the white tape which was securing the display cable to the back of the display (presumably for protection during shipping) - best done between steps 7 and 8
2. peeling off the protective cover from the front of the display, using the black tab near the top-right corner - best done between steps 10 and 11.
Finally, in step 4 the video shows the input cover being lifted first from the top corners; however the text says "Carefully lift the cover up from the bottom right corner." I found this confusing, so it would have been good if the guidance in the text matched the video.
Other than those , I found the whole process very straightforward!

No new bezel is needed. The instructions above are accurate, except for the details I wrote in my previous comment on this page dated May 26, 2023.
