When I did mine, I used a razor blade, cut the stitches by sliding the blade
between the vinyl and the plexiglass, pulled out the stitches and then the
panel. I placed the old panel on top of the new one and marked all the
stitching holes on to the new panel through the holes on the old panel using a
large sewing needle. I then used a 1/16 drill bit and drilled all the holes at
the marks. Lastly, I put the window back in the frame and used heavy upholstery
thread and sewed the new window back in. I went back and forth through the
holes from one end to the other and then back to the other end going through
the holes the opposite direction so it looks machine sewed but it isn't.
