Create a smooth straight edge for the window opening and the upholsterer glues the upholstery to this edge that rolls and butts onto the plexiglass. 2. Create a fiberglass frame for the window. =20 Steps involved: =20 a. put electrical tape on the plexiglass with a small gap (1/8") between the body and the plexiglass. b. Place shipping tape (clear)around the window edge overlapping the body and the plexiglass. This is a release medium.. c. Layup a 2 or 3 bid fiberglass all around the window and let it harden.=20 d. Shine a flashlight from the outside through the 1/8" gap and mark the edge of the window. e. Remove and trim the fiberglass to the mark. f. Determine the width of trim you want around each window-1" -2" looks about right. g The upholstery is installed first to the body, then the fiberglass frame is wrapped in upholstery and glued down to trim the edge.
