Default Glass moves on coffee table

Come on now people disciplineing a one year old is hard, and your best
efforts are going to be only so so a lot of the time. Until you get the
little rug rat under control in about 25 years you might try to take a disk
of SOFT rough leather (not suede) and place it next to the table, on top of
that place a disk of foam rubber. If that doesn't work try just the foam
rubber. Another trick is a ball of contact cement, let it dry completly and
then make a ball out of it and place under the glass (try all of this in a
unseen place for a couple of days to make sure it won't damage the finish).
I use wax paper to dry the cement on. Metal or plastic clips to hold the
glass on the table can also help. There is really no perfect way to hold
the glass on the table and your problem will only get worse for the next few
years.

I bought a wooden coffee table and now have a 1 year old who loves to
beat on it. So I bought a cut glass top to protect the wood however,
the glass slides around and it is not safe. I have tried the little
plastic spacers the glass company gave me but it still moves. I have
also bought every silicone stopper of every shape and size I can find
and it still moves. I don't want to ruin the finish on the table
trying to get the glass to stay on and I don't want my daughter
beating on the table. The glass is just not safe. PLEASE help I want
to keep the glass from moving.
