That is what I did with the glue gun, used it to hold the window in for stitching, a more flexible adhesive would be better than hot glue.

The secret to getting the window taught is not having it all the way open (stretched) when you lay it out and sew it. Have the canvas a little bit loose and then when it is mounted it will be nice and tight.

The 40 gauge material loosened up a surprising amount. If your stitch quality is good then you will want it a bit hard to close because it will relax over time. I know with Land Rovers, you have to use a hair dryer on the top to close it the first time.
