Sure thing.
OK, sonic damage and shatter should affect it normally, I think. Fire damage causes it to warp, slowing it but not actually harming it? And it reflects ranged touch attacks back on their source?

Well, these guys are fairly serious. Also, with golems, there's generally a vulnerability, a hinderance (like slowing, removing DR, etc) and one that powers the golem up. That's what I was going for.

So...
Immunity to Magic (Ex): A glass golem is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted below.
A magical attack that deals fire damage warps and slows a glass golem (as the slow spell) for 3 rounds, with no saving throw.
A magical attack that requires a ranged touch attack is reflected directly back at the caster or the user of the item that generated it. This new target is entitled to a saving throw if the effect permits one.
A glass golem is affected normally by sonic attacks and the shatter spell.
I borrowed the spell reflection part from the mirror mephit.

That looks good to me.

It's got more hit dice, the same natural armor, worse attacks and roughly comparable SLAs (more of them, and can do more damage with them, but cursed wound is really nasty). CR 10 is totally fine by me. Ditto organization and advancement.

Time to move on to the painful part...construction.
Here's the similarly-CR'ed clay golem's...
A clay golem’s body must be sculpted from a single block of clay weighing at least 1,000 pounds, treated with rare oils and powders worth 1,500 gp. Creating the body requires a DC 15 Craft (sculpting) check or a DC 15 Craft (pottery) check.
CL 11th; Craft Construct, animate objects, commune, resurrection, caster must be at least 11th level; Price 40,000 gp; Cost 21,500 gp + 1,540 XP.
...and here's the thematically-similar stained glass golem...
Construction
A stained glass golem's body is constructed from 50 pounds of glass shards. Assembling the body requires a successful Craft (glassmaking) check (DC 25).
Caster Level: 16th; Prerequisites: Craft Construct, geas/quest, limited wish; Market Price: 28,000 gp; Cost to Create: 15,000 gp + 1,080 XP.
