How to mount tempered glass to this case

So, I cannot source the pegs that the Ncase uses to normally mount its side panel to the case, which I would have liked to use for a tempered glass side window. So, Im hoping to use your collective brainpower here:

1. How would I be able to seamlessly mount a TG panel to this case?

2. While Im here, how would I create a blacked out trim along the edge of the TG, so I dont have to see the edges of the case

Lol I just so happened to see this in recent topics and clicked. Go to my build log in my signature to see how I did mine. I used plastic when I did it, and plan to get a piece of glass for it this summer. In theory I can find a strong enough adhesive to make it work. If not I'll have to find more options.

The place I get my TG from for case modding will drill holes in the glass for me before I pick it up, pretty cheap too. When I did mine I just used thumb screws and drilled holes in the original side panel and mounted the glass on that, then put the side panel on the case the way the stock one would.

Ultra strong velcro tape?  It will black out the edges, seal the connection and hold you window on without issue.

 

You'd also be able to take it off for maintenance 

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

Awesome idea! And industrial strength velcro isn't too expensiv eeither.

What did you cut the panel with?

I used a pneumatic rotary tool because my grandfather had one lying around. Even with that amount of power it was hard to cut through the case. I would imagine that a dremel could cut though eventually, but it would be quite the affair.
