Replace A1297 Anti-glare screen with Glossy screen

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

Hi

I have a 2011 17" A1297 MacBook Pro with Anti-glare screen at the moment. The screen is broken (as the wife calls it Japanese artwork on the screen).

I was going to replace the screen, but an potential easier alternative has come up.

There is an entire top section (so screen, back shell etc) that belonged to the same model 17"MBP and also hi-res, only difference is it's a Glossy screen.

Am I simply able to remove the connectors, screws etc and replace the entire top half of the MBP with this? or were the tops of a Anti-glare different?

Cheers.
