cocktail glass top, clips problem
currygoat11:
Hi all. Trying to finish up my cocktail cabinet. I have a problem. I have placed the glass top on, and the problem is, the glass clips really do not adequately secure it. The clips really just overlap the glass by a small margin - the clips are really too short. The T-molding is really getting in the way. If the T-molding didn't exist, they would work just fine. See pict:

questions are: do better (longer tipped) clips exist? Any other ideas? Much appreciate any input you guys may have. Thank you.

Actually that looks about right to me. The top may be cut just slightly to big for the glass but it still looks fine. Can you remove the glass with the clips installed? If not then you are fine.

Yes I think the top is cut just slightly to big for the glass. And with a small amount of effort, yes the glass can be wiggled away from the cabinet entirely. This is really bugging me.
Does anyone make glass clips which extend further?

well, i know the ones on the new ms pac man galag reunion cocktails are different but I don't know if the lip is any bigger. You should just have a metal shop fabricate them. I believe there is a member here that does metal work.
Or get some appropriate size aluminum channel:

and just cut 8 small pieces.

Hi whammoed, thanks for the ideas... I am still contemplating what I'm going to do. I'm even thinking about getting a new slightly bigger glass top made :-\
