If so why couldn't a neat wooden frame be cemented around the glass to the roof material and another frame or a number of clamps be screwed to the frame taking the weight off the glass/cement bond.
Or
If one made a nice looking frame around the outside and drilled some holes in the glass adding some fasteners through the glass, fabric and frame would take the weight of the cement bond.
Never having studied this area I may be completely wrong.
In my case.. not just the glass.. the canvas folds back over itself.. Canvas glued to canvas and that glued to the window. So a bead of 3M between the canvas layers then a bead on top the glass. A 1" wide canvas "frame" glued to glass and canvas on the inside would probably have given these enough holding power to have stayed.
