I think you will need to keep your bopper out to get rid of that flat spot on the one side. Be careful with TV glass. I won't mess with the stuff.

My pics got reversed in the post...maybe I should have called that out sooner.  Top pic is where I am at now. 

Jeb, why do you avoid the TV glass?  The dust it releases or the slivers that end up in your hand:-)
