From what I understand and see, given my new glass top, the top should fold like a parallelogram, which would safely encase the glass. Now about the latch, that's another story as I have to adjust the hinge as the top goes up. I'm not complaining about this factor so far, as I'm waiting for the top to run it's trial period.
