thanks rsd212...
1) The front panel stays on all by itself using those black connectors, although that is not an ideal solution. I intend on coming up with a cover for the glove box, and perhaps then I will have a solution to hold the front on. I will keep you posted...
2) I just went to home depot and bought a length of aluminum which is about 1 inch tall and 1/8 of an inch thick. Aluminum is a soft metal, and is easy to cut and drill. I can't remember the exact lenght i cut it to, but it is about 8.5 inches. I drilled 2 screw holes which line up with the holes which were used by the stock deck and filed down one corner of the so that it fit. Finally,I drilled one hole in the center and bolt it to the mounting bracket on the xenarc. (i just filed down a bolt until it fit).
There is a modification i want to make here though. I intend on bending the aluminum bar so that the screen faces up a little more. From a natural seating position in the driver's seat, the Viewing Angle is a little sharp.
Here is a lousy picture, but it will help you get the idea. There is also a top view of the installed bracket at my site.

Hope that helped.
