LCD screen installation help

I'm working on a project to install a car computer in my car. The next step is to put the LCD screen in the dash. I removed a double DIN spaced CD player and its going in there. To make it fit better I removed the "guts" of the lcd screen from its case and I want to attach this to the original CD player bezel and just install the bezel w/ the LCD screen attached to it.



I ran into a snag when I started figure out how to attach the screen to the bezel. I purchased an extra one to play with so I don't mess up the original, but I set the bezel face down, then I put the LCD screen face down on the bezel, but I don't know how to attach it.



I thought about fiberglassing brackets by molding them to the back of the screen then epoxying them to the bezel and sliding the screen down. Or perhaps hot glue gunning it in some how.



I'm looking to see if anyone has any ideas on this part. I've included a link to a picture that shows where I am:

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, but.... Beware that silicone RTV (room temperature vulcanising) rubbers, come in two distinct varieties. The commonest, contain acetic acid as part of the chemistry, and can cause damage to things like LCD screens, if applied to the edges. Look for varieties used in electronics, and trades like aerospace, that are sold as 'acid free'.

Silicone. The stuff you use to seal windows and bathroom edges. Takes 24 hours to dry, but it works quite well as 'glue'.
