Buttons should be enough to hold the plexi in place.

Buttons do very well.  I even bought security screws and drilled all the way through and countersunk a hole below the bolt for a nut that held the bolt down.

Yea, mine is just be held by the buttons.  I ran T Molding around my CP top as well.  Never had any issues with it coming up or moving at all.

Buttons and t molding are enough to keep it in place.
