 Hey guys I just bought a new medallion gasket, but I am confused. Does the peel off part stick to the door itself, or does it stick to the glass itself? Also what do you think about glass vs plexiglass? I am going to get a new piece cut, should I replace all three with glass? Thanks!

The machines that I have redone I replaced all three peices with glass, it won't scratch after awhile.

Your gasket sticks to the door. It is best to use a glass piece for your outside piece, and plexi glass for the other two. Hope this helps !! drinking

Your glass guy should be able to drill all the holes you need wether in the plexiglass or the regulart Glass.. I've always just used Glass on outside, Plexi on inside and Glass on backside.. guess I might try all glass next time as it's easier to form the gasket around it as it doesn't bend.
