    i think the glue wont hold the glass atleast not long term.

    i would just use the silicon. its not that hard the silicon is fairly adhesive even when fresh out the tube. just dont be stupid like me and forget to take the plastic sheet of the glass or lexan.

    ok cool I was just going to use the hot glue in the corners to hold so I could silicone it, but I didnt know if that would be an issue. otherwise I will just tape it in place and silicone it.
