Repairing/replacing vinyl windows in Cabs

So I found and ordered 8 gauge vinyl window material. Not sure yet how to fix my doors right now so it is a learning experience - don't have an industrial stitching machine and never going to get one either . So, anyone bought and fitted Vinyl window screen? What was your solution? Not sure yet how to fit this though... sow?, tape?, glue? Anyone attempted this? Really can't believe I am the only one attempting this??

Sew , but if you don't have the machine and the experience doing it take it to a boat upholsterer. You will not be happy with the result doing it yourself .
My 2 cents . You may keep the change .

Thanks Dave. Thought that might be the answer but just wanted to see whether anyone had done it themselves first.

So at Dave's suggestion I went on-line and searched locally (Webster NY) for boat canvas repair places) found one about 4 miles away from my house! and yes they do vinyl window repairs too! They are closed right now (M-F place). I will drop by there tomorrow with a door and see what they say... stay tuned...
