I replaced mine with a Lexan panel too last year. I used black 4200 as the adhesive, which proved to be a bad decision on my part as it seems that 4200 adheres poorly to lexan (let me know how it turns out for you Pete!). This spring, I noticed the panel was half loose and that water was getting in at an alarming rate. I removed the panel and cleaned up the 4200.
I have been recommended a silicone-based sealant specially made to bed lexan windows (sika 295 uv), but somehow managed to skip the parts of the instructions where the use of a primer was mentioned. Last month, I noticed the panel is loose again with water finding its way in again. The only upside I see to my hard-n-slow learning approach is that I'm giving myself so many opportunities to work on my goo-handling abilities!
