The Ford Barn

I got all my glass cut today and was really trying to figure out just how the oval windows and rear windows are installed. I have a cartouche top kit and the instructions are difficult to understand. I have a instruction sheet by Ed Eaton from clutch chatter. It says after the roofing is covered , the window glass is installed from the inside of the car in the opening previously cut in the cardboard panels. the frames are installed and screwed down. To what? The top covering[which is over the glass] is cut away. Will this make a decent seal? It looks to me that the glass would have to be cut on the small size of the spec to allow the roof material to squeeze in there. Would some kind of glue be used to seal the window. Also is there a rear cardboard panel for the business coupe? I never got one in my kit. I think the window and frame hanging on the top material would fail in time. have any of you had experience installing this top. Any advise would be appreciated.
