I've been dealing with these since 1971. I've found a few things that hold them on
FOR A WHILE. But nothing that really lasts. Since it is tempered glass, you can't drill it
to put a screw through (like the lower hinge has). As soon as you get through the tempered (compressed)
layer, the residual tension in the core causes it to shatter into thousands of pieces.
A good epoxy may last several months.
