Thats why I would never do this. You never know what imperfections that wood has on it. Not to mention he said he has tile in there too.

Tight against the glass would be the only way to do it IMO. Having the glass, tile, then wood is just poor planning.

I would honestly take it apart and do it properly. That would be just a disaster waiting to happen in the future with a quick fix. I think all of us who have been in this hobby for a long time would agree that temporary or quick fixes almost NEVER work out.
