For the rear quarter window panels, I've found that upholstery contact adhesive works very well. Do the front where the seatbelt slider is first, then the bottom, then the back/top. The key is to not try to do the whole piece at once. The shape is a little too complex to do the standard way. you will still have to cut a couple of reliefs into the cf in the center of the window area to help it form around the inside edge a little better, but its not TOO hard. Just remember to use more cf than you think you will need. All of the curves on the quarter window trim eat up the surface area fast.
