Can you please post a picture? I can't tell if it's suitable for a rounded marquee. I have a Data East cabinet and the marquee window is rounded. I'm still looking for a good way to hold the marquee in place cuz the original retainer is gone.

it'wont work on a rounded marquee.  Its stiff plastic for one and second the way its designed to be mounted wouldn't allow for it to be bent.  Sounds like t-molding might be a better alternative, though i'm not sure how exactly you would go about mounting that either.  Out of curiousity, what are you looking to get for it SNAAAKE?

I alreadt tried t-molding. The groove down the middle isn't deep enough because of a lip. Plus it would help to be a little thicker, too.

you can use a plastic retainer if you cut triangles into the side that is screwed to the cabinet.I have a bad dudes cabinet that has the rounded marquee and that is how data east did it.
