Silicone will bond acrylic to glass pretty good, what I do is put a line of it along the edge of the overflow that goes against the glass, put it in place and suport it over night. then the next day i run a bead along each edge to form a joint like you are sealing a tub to the wall and smooth it over with my finger.

I don't like to use weldon 40 or 16 as to me they are just bandaids for slopy cuts. get good edges and glue with weldon 4 and you can move it in about 1 min instead of having to wait 1/2 a hour for 16 or 40 to set up.
