What you're doing is how it was designed. I'm not understanding the problem here.
Lift up the glass and put up one prop rod. Then put up the other. Done.

Quoted from Ramakers:I now can easily put up the glass. Those tips really helped a lot.
On my #4MBC there is also no way of getting the mounting board out easily. The power line and switch don't allow lifting. But this another topic.
I'm planning to make this feature in my Camelot. This game is coming back from the junkyard better than ever. Also another topic.
I found the difference in length to come in handy. If I start with the long one on the right you can bring in the short one on the left from above with ease. I have to pull down the glass to lock this in the slot. This way the support is very secure.
The rods are the same length...
Quoted from EJS:I never really understood this style of glass or why they make it slightly smaller than standard playfield glass grrrr.
My removal method was always complete removal and lay on some close by carpeting.
The size issue is no mystery. The frame reduces the size.
Why they did it, who knows. It does make it easier to work on a game where there isn't a lot of space to slide the glass out.

Quoted from shemp2000:I am reworking a Bally #on beam with this lift up glass assembly. Looking at the above picture I think I am missing some pieces. My machine has the lockdown lever behind the coin door but there are no tabs on the glass assembly to grab onto for locking. Should there be? Also, the rear of the assembly just pulls out, should there be some sort of hinge or pivot assembly to hold in in place?
There are tabs on the bar, and the rear of the frame has no hinges. Just slides into place.
