Here's a picture of the broken glass.
Measures 15 1/4" x 8".
I have another belly glass in it now.

Hello,
       I need help!. Could you tell me the best way to replace the belly glass?. Do I have to take out the bottom trim piece, like whats below the reel glass.
Guess, I'm lost on how to do this.

There are 2 screws on the inside of the door that hold the glass trim piece in place. Remove them and the belly glass assembly should pull free from the outside of the door. The screws are located near the top corners of the belly glass...

There is a kind of ultra-violet setting super glue that works for glass. Use it on a fine day. Lay the glass clear side up, paint down, on a stiff board, apply the glue to one of the broken edges, then push them together and expose it to bright sunlight for a minute or two. If you line it up right and hold the broken edges tight together it's hard to see the crack afterward. Clean up any glue left on the face with a razor blade and touch up the back with black paint. I've repaired pinball back glasses that way and never had one fail, and they get a lot of shaking and abuse.
