    Pretty simple. Break and remove the old glass and the black plastic trim ring can be carefully pried out. Drop in a your replacement glass and the trim ring can be snapped back in. I've done probably a dozen without issues.

    Sure. I'll measure one for you when I get out to my shop later this afternoon. My local glass guy cuts them for me for $7 each.

    Appears that glass isn't the only thing "making the cut".
