Once and for all - HOW TO RETAIN GLASS?

Pages: (1/3) > >>

darthbane2k:

Guys,

I seriously need some advice as what to use to retain the glass that goes over the monitor in my cab. A bezel behind the glass will hide everything but the screen.

Please put your methods here with pictures preferably!
I saw some glass clips in my local hardware store but was wondering whether these would look intrusive as in all of the pics I have seen of other people's wonderfully custom-built cabs, I have never seen any visable clips in the screen area.

There are some pics of mine here:

...but my cab is unusually shaped, so the hinged-top-glass-retainer idea won't work for all cabs.

darthbane2k:

Am i seeing this incorrectly or is the glass in your cab kept in place by gravity and the routed-grooves. Is this secure?

RetroACTIVE:

No clips... just gravity for me... basically sits on the bezel and rests on the cross-member.

works fine.

(sorry about the crappy diagram).

You could do what Midway did in their cabs and just rest it in a groove near the CP, while holding it in place at the top with a piece of painted angle-aluminum.
