Can Eisenglas be glued ?

I have some deteriorated eisenglas (almost all) on my enclosures and was wondering if new "eglass" could be glued onto the old where patches are required? Or, is an F28 too small to install a piot house type enclosure w/hinged windows on the flybridge? Too much weigh too high up? Even if made of wood vs fiberglass?

Eisenglass is a generic name for clear vinyl. We manufacturer T-Tops and use it in our Spray-Shields and Gull-Wings.

I don't think you'll be able to glue it (with some sort of vinyl glue) without it showing. If the framework is still in good shape (Sunbrella?), you may be able to get a local canvas shop to sew new glass in for you...

Oh well, I'll just not install any of the vinyl enclosures. Local estimate to replace them is over $8k and I have the good frames. Was a thought, looking for an "easy" way out. Thanks for the reply.
