Quoted from BaxterStockman:Update on those magnets. The magnets are extremely powerful. However the 3M adhesive they have that came with it does not work very well. I may try them again but let them sit a little before putting them back up there at that angle.
Came home to Mike on the floor as well as the sewer cover. the others were still up there but Raph was leaning forward. Good thing they weren't too heavy since Mike definitely fell on the glass.
I did a few things to stop this after trial and error.
Extra brace on the back to give support for the sewer cover. These hardware pieces were under $2 in the lumber section at Lowe's (mending plates?).

This prevents "cover droop" from adding the sign w/plenty of adhesive (I'll probably replace w/gorilla tape, FYI)

I also made sure the sides were secure w/corner braces. Not going anywhere.

For magnets, I used these. The 3M tape included seems really good.

Truth be told, I just don't know if there is any effect on the limited electronics in the backbox w/having the magnets nearby, so I did buy some shielding to install on the inside top of the backbox. Anyone have insight? I'm not sure this is needed.

So I'd recommend putting everything together but just leaving in on a table for a few days. This way you'll be sure your design will stay together before you put it on top of the $6000 toy. At first, I had "sign droop" and it knocked one Turtle over.
