Broken Display Support Frame in Housing

I had the same issue but the glass didn't break. I separated the assembly from the bottom keyboard/CPU part and then removed the LCD and Glass. Since the laptop was already out of warranty, I drilled a hole just below the frame crack on both sides all the way through the metal clamshell and used my dremel tool to cut/grind off the excess of the screws from the outside. Also, you need to make sure you use flat-head screws and countersink your holes slightly so the glass won't be pushed up by the screw-heads. I also drilled a hole on each side just below where the glass ends (the black rubberized area) all the way through the clamshell and ground off the screw ends (this was to give the repaired framework strength. Works great.

It is hard to find a clamshell framework-only online. Everyone wants to sell you the whole clamshell/LCD assembly and I didn't need anything but the clamshell and an unbroken frame. Sure, it's not perfect--but it works. Without the field engineering, I might as well buy a complete used MacBook Pro since the cost is about the same as the LCD assembly. Besides, I'm not a Mac-Tribesman who cares what the outside looks like. And frankly, the safety cover on it hides the ground off screws anyway.
