Hoopz:
There have been posts in the past about people using industrial strength velcro to hold up their plexiglass.  I don't remember about tempered glass though.

I have industrial strength velcro and I wouldn't have any concerns about using it.  It locks in place very well.

Industrial strength Velcro? Do I need some sorta special license to buy that stuff?  :laugh2:

Really though, maybe Velcro is the answer here. I mean of course I want a clean look but like I said, I am limited here as to how the cab is already built as to what I can and can not do with it. I guess I should have stated this in my first post.

My Bad.

I mean I don't plan on ever taking the monitor out of this thing unless I have to move the cab which will more than likely be a road I have to travel looking ahead. The monitor has to come out through the front of the cab..

Could have to do with cost?

i made a vivarium for a lizard, with four panels of tempered glass held on with velcro. i got some sandpaper of sorts to rough up the glass , a two part epoxy suitable for all surfaces, smeared on and laid on an 'edge/surround' of velcro. worked like a charm and solid as a rock. i would say if you can see the velcro through the glass its a bit ugly but easily covered with a sticker bezel on the front :cheers:
