Make a window ring out of fiberglass.
Cut the inside of the ring to windows
edge.
Epoxy the outside half of the ring to the
fuselage.
Lift the inside edge of the ring. Bend the material
around the edge and let the ring snap back to hold material or said another way:
Stretch and tuck the material on the other inside half of the
ring.
Pictures attached. Sorry I don't have any taken
during the installation.
No glue involved (with the tucking).

Hallo Lancair
fellows! This is about the one and only Lancair IV to be built
in Scandinavia. The first 50 hours test flight is soon coming to an end and
now is the time to finish the cabin interior. As you might understand we
dont have people in Sweden specialized in upholstery for airplanes. So I have a
contact with a guy doing this for sportscars. He says the job to make a nice
leather interior in my Lancair IV is no problem except for the windows. He never
had such a job before to fasten a nice interior close to such a window with
nothing to fasten to and to get a nice line round the window without having
the possibility to screw the thing tight. Glue is the answer of course but
what kind of glue for leather or vinyl to be glued to the carbon wall. Has
somebody a tip how to do this? Pics would be
appreciated.
