There's a related question here, which links to some answers. The problem is that if these glass walls are actually invisible in the laser scan, the local trajectory planner can still try to go through them, even if you manually paint the walls into the global map. So you'll need something like layered costmaps which contain the "no go zones".

Or you could do what we did with our (small) glass door, which is stick a couple sheets of paper onto it at a certain height... :-)

Or try additionally using an ultrasound ranger for local obstacle avoidance, if your robot happens to have one (not tried, but should work).
