A channel restraint system in combination with an impact resistant panel disposed within a frame wherein the channel restraint system comprises:
- a channel having an elongate top and elongate sides disposed approximately perpendicular to each other, and elongate vertical extremity means spaced from said elongate side, and a horizontal extremity depending from said top between said side and said vertical extremity means;
- said channel being positioned adjacent said frame and to one side of said impact resistant panel such that a void is defined between the channel and the frame;
- said channel restraint system further comprising an adhesive that is confined within said channel by said vertical extremity means such that said channel is securely bonded to said impact resistant panel and frame thereby preventing the adhesive from entering into said void.
