The glass is pressed into the frame using either a rubber or fabric to
retain it. Just force it out of the frame and get a thick piece of
fabric to lay across the end of the glass. WHen you shove it into the
bracket, just trim off the excess. I used some twill fabric, worked
fine. You probably want to use some sort of man made fabric so it won't
decay.
