Default Stained glass panels and UPVC windows

Hi All
I've made some simple stained glass panels (using copper foil) to fit
'inside' the individual panes of a wood-framed window - and fixed them
using small copper loops and tiny screws, direct into the wood.

I have an enquiry from a customer who wants some panels made to fit
the small top opening panes in her UPVC (=plastic) conservatory.

I know that one way is to get the stained glass panels 'encapsulated'
in the double-glazed units - but I suspect that may be too expensive
for this customer. I don't really want to be drilling holes in her
plastic window-frames.

Does anybody make some kind of proprietary 'clip' or fixing that can
be used to solve this problem. It'd need to be a fairly secure
solution, because these window are top-hinged, and will be opened for
ventilation - so the weight of the stained glass will be trying to
pull the panels out of their fixing..

Any advice / experience from somebody who has 'been there & done that'
?
Many thanks in advance
