Support hatch glass when out of car?

[Bugman Jeff]

This weeks stupid question once again brought to you by Jeff I've got to pull my hatch glass to reglue the hinge. I've had big chunks of curved glass out many times over the years, but I'm always a bit paranoid of the glass breaking under it's own weight. I'm thinking of making a "cradle" out of a pile of pillows to support the glass while it's laying flat. Is this something I should be concerned about, or am I worried over nothing? Thanks for the info.

I've had my mine out and it survived without a cradle of pillows

Probably not needed but the few seconds it takes for you to throw down some pillows to be safe than sorry, its worth it..
