Genius! High praise coming from the Zeke!!
What you describe is essentially what I did. I guess I didn't describe it well.
I put RTV in places on the edges to anchor the edges to the frame, then inserted the glass and centered it with toothpicks, putting small dabs of RTV in spots around the perimeter to hold it in the center. When the RTV set up I took the toothpicks out and finished sealing the crack all the way around with RTV.
On the second vent I was more careful about wiping off ALL the RTV from the glass and the chrome while it was still paste-like.
