    I am going to swap the Translite on my Jurassic Park (Stern) and realized that all these years later I have never swapped one. Does it all just fit together and stay in place by the plastic channel pressure, or does the backlit graphic have something that adheres it to the glass, perhaps the translite is adhered at the edges? Silly simple question, just never done one before.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Nope, just lay it down on the glass and put on the trim. It will cling to the glass to some degree and the trim will help it stay put.

    Perfect! That's all I needed to know before I remove the existing glass and plastic channels. I plan to roll-up the origi OEM Translite and keep it with the machine...

    Tonight I took the translite out of this 2021 Jurassic Park to take a look and it DOES appear to have a narrow piece of double sided tape along the edge of the glass and translite. I left it alone. I think I’ll keep the original glass and the affixed translite intact and store it aside safely, and then just get another piece of 1/8” glass cut ($20 from my local guy) and use some 3M 1/4-wide double sided roller (Scotch #6061) on the edge of the new glass to adhere the new translite.
