Yes it seems that there was indeed a piece of presumably tempered glass there but since it just rested on a small ledge almost all the machines I've encountered have either replaced the glass or just ignored it, though on mine, there is a sensor switch which cuts off power if the glass is missing. Guess I could have wedged something in the switch to keep it on, but I don't want to disable a safety feature on a machine that could be used by others too.
