Take a look at late '60s Bally EMs. As IPDB explains in the entry for
Rocket III, "Early Production games [had] the familiar sliding glass, while
later in production the glass was changed to lift upwards from the front in
a metal frame." I recall that the glass was firmly mounted in a frame
including the side and front metal rails. The entire frame pivoted up, like
the hood of a car. No glass edges were exposed to nicks. No beverages could
seep inside.

You could mount your LCD and playfield glass in a similar frame.
