Abstract: Glass restraint system for windows, including a film (102), an adhesive for affixing the film (102) to a window pane (104), and an assembly (106) for clamping the edges of the film to the window frame (100) or mullion and providing an aesthetically pleasing cap and seal around the window. The assembly (106) includes a baseplate (102) with upwardly projecting sides (206, 208), the outer surfaces of which have captivation grooves (210, 212) extending along the length of the baseplate, and an inverted trough-shaped cap (214) having a top (215) and two sides (216, 218) which fit over the baseplate. The sides of the cap are provided with inwardly protruding ribs (220, 222) on the inside faces that are configured to snap into the captivation grooves for securing the cap to the baseplate so that four segments of the cap and baseplate form a four-sided, substantially rectangular framing assembly.
