Introduction

Replacing the rear case on the Garmin Drive 60 LMT is a straightforward repair that can resolve issues caused by cracks, warped housing, or loose internal pressure on components such as the battery and display connectors. The rear case not only protects the internal electronics but also helps keep the screen assembly, motherboard, and battery properly seated. If the device has been dropped, the back cover is damaged, or the screen has stopped responding due to internal misalignment, replacing the rear case is an effective first step. This guide will walk you through safely removing the old housing and installing a new one to restore proper fit and function.
