When I was flying airplanes we used a glue for mounting canopies called RC56. It is a white glue that dries clear but remains flexible. If it stands up to a plane travelling 140mph it should work for a windshield. Greg Roth :)

I noticed that too. At least for the Oberto it seems that the windshield needs to come up and back just a bit.

I was planning to use plumbers goop to mount mine.

The RC56 is really nice. It is like Elmer's glue. You can wipe up mistakes with a wet towel and it dries clear. So far it has had excellent adhesion to wood and Monokote. I can't say if it's waterproof. I will check the bottle and see if it has a listed phone number and you can call the manufaturer.
 
I've been useing E 6000 sylicone..I get it at my Local Auto Paint store..Comes in Clear , Black or White ...It fuel proof too.
 
Yes it is waterproof (rc56) I use it to mount plastic to wood and it also seems to be pretty fuel proof. It is a product that I buy at my local hobby shop. 1 bottle lasts forever. Greg B)

Those marks are for the Bud, taken off the plan sheet. You should go by the plan sheet or pictures to get the others correct. glad to see you are paying attention to the details..

I have used shoe goo to fasten the clear windshields into the canopies.
