Thanks everyone for the advice! I am going to search around the LA area for a quote to see how much it will be to replace the panel with the holes for the shadow overflow box. As for the silicone, I added that originally because I noticed a little droplet of water going into the overflow/exterior box before it even reached the top of the bulkhead...

The crack didn’t appear until i tried to move it into the house...since the crack is on top of the hole, I figured some silicone will prevent it from leaking through and the water pressure on top should not be a issue. The overflow/bulkhead should ideally be enough to secure that crack in place but like i said im new to this and it’s a learning curve for me at this point. Better to be safe than sorry...

Good move on getting a glass replacement. You and us readers can sleep better when repair is done knowing you will have a nice seal.
