What do ypu guys use to hold down plexi glass or lexan to the top of your control panel?

Also does crystalite work as well as lexan?

None of the above.  I depend on my pushbuttons and trackball mounting place to hold it down.  It holds it down perfectly and you can not lift it if you tried.  However, I have a large 4 player control panel with buttons near some of the edges.

That never occured to me. I might try that even though I only have a 2 player CP.

If you do try it, a push button wrench may be helpful to get the buttons fastened really well.  Here is an example of one:
