Not that I am aware of.

A couple of people have done them over the years with varying degrees of success.

The rubber needs to be replaced.
The hinges and latch mechanism really need to be fixed to the glass by drilling the glass.
Something that needs to be done by a professional.

I've seen a set done with the hinges and latch glued onto the glass.
But it looked messy and I recon it would quickly come away.

Other option is to use perspex. But it scratches and yellows and can go brittle in the sun unless you get the 10 year stuff that really only lasts about 2 or 3.

I'm actually attempting this very mod and hopefully I'll have some pics up this summer.

If not I'll be red faced :oops:

Bear in mind you can't drill tempered glass :wink:

Nope, as soon as the bit starts to cut it'll shatter ;)
