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 (102) 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 (102), and an inverted trough-shaped cap (214) having a top (215) and two sides (216, 218) which fit over the baseplate (102). The sides (216, 218) of the cap (214) are provided with inwardly protruding ribs (220, 222) on the inside faces that are configured to snap into the captivation grooves (210, 212) for securing the cap (214) to the baseplate (102) so that four segments of the cap (214) and baseplate (102) form a four-sided, substantially rectangular framing assembly. The cap (214) also has at least one narrow protruding rib (224) extending inwardly on the window facing side of the cap top (215), the rib (224) being configured so as to leave a small gap between the rib (224) and the window pane (104). A flexible gasket (228) is engaged to the rib (224) or ribs and used to maintain a sealing pressure against the film (102) covering the window to prevent moisture and other contaminants from accumulating behind the cap (214).
