Although I didn't do it I'm still curious to see if someone would be willing to use 3M double sided tape. The expensive stuff with the red backing. The same stuff that airplane manufacturers are sticking fuselage parts together with. I was going to give it a go but I broke the old window while removing it. At 500 bucks I wasn't willing to waste a new window on an experiment. I went plexus and had very good results- the second time around. The key is the shims to prevent you from squeezing out all the goodness.
I wish Practical sailor would clear this up once and for all!
