When we built my friend's RV-8, we simply used West Systems 105 epoxy with the slow hardener to bond the fiberglass fairing all around the front windshield to the rollbar and fuselage. We scuffed up all the plexiglass contact surfaces and metal surfaces thoroughly with 80 grit first. Three years later, it's still bonded perfectly well, and no sign of any delamination of the bond or any cracks or crazing in the plexiglass.
