Cabinets: Can I replace the panel insert with glass?

I want to take the panel insert out of the cabinet doors above the fridge and replace it with leaded glass. One repairman told me that the insert is too flimsy to hold glass. (referring to the routered edge that the glass would rest on) I really want the glass look. I'd love a second opinion and/or suggestions for other options.
