deja vu

A bit late, but I would have suggested temporarily putting a thin piece of wood the size of the screen into the screen position that's held in place w/ double-sided tape or similar and securing it all in the DIN cage while the plastic bond worked it's magic.

I know you saw my worklog. Another thing I came across during my fabrication, in addition to what you've already experienced (bottom edge), is that the heat will possibly cause the bezel screen edge to deform and not fit right.

In my case, it bowed out and as a result, the screen would not sit flush w/ the bezel edge.

I did not see that happening and only found out during final re-assembly.

Very nice progress so far.
