Title says it all, got hulk up and running but can't figure out how the back glass stays in there. Thanks in advance.

They are held against the swing-out frame by nylon blocks that are screwed into the frame.

Hey John it was running.....after about an hour one of the pop bumpers locked on and burnt up unfortunately....apparently this is a fairly common system 1 problem, ordering coils and new switches for it right now....but otherwise seemed to be playing pretty good. Not sure if you got my email, but found the key in the cabinet so didn't have to drill out the lock.
While your at it, make sure your ground mods have been done (big cause of random lock on coils) and your orange cap has been replaced. Also you may have to change the driver for that coil.
Another trick I do on any Gottlieb that toasts a coil is toss a cheap fuse holder and a 2.5a sb in line with the coil. Fuses are much cheaper than coils.
This is the early one where the pop bumpers aren't driven by drivers and just wired directly to themselves.....pitting on switch biggest cause of it sticking
Ahh stuck switch... Yeah that will do it also.
Get a 2.5a sb in there. Easy enough to splice in line with the coil.
