Since you are in a warm climate, hose off the windows to remove the looser gunk. Use a vinegar based window cleaner with several cloth towels. Then use a spray wax to coat the window(s).
For the canvas, use a mold/mildew remover. let is sit for 5-10 minutes but don't let it dry. A soft bristle brush really help remove the stuff on the canvas.
If you have a power washer, do not use the highest pressure nozzle and do not spray the stitching.

Dawn soap and water. Dawn will not (shouldn't) harm the plastic windows. A guy at a detail shop told me that is what he uses whenever he details a convertible. Add this mixture to a spray bottle spray it on and use soft microfiber towels. Then hose it off and dry it with another clean microfiber towel
Thank you, that stuff didn't work at all. I'm gonna try the mold/mildew remover
Thank you for the detailed recommendation. I will come back and let you know how it went!
I would polish it with a dual action polisher:

To clarify, there is this green stuff (could be mold?) splattered across the plastic part of the window in the photo. I don't know how to get it out.
Try bleach on a small inconspicuous location and see if that does anything. If it is algae (which it sounds like it is) that will kill it pretty fast. Otherwise the polisher with the polishing compound will remove almost anything. I use 3D Products and a Flex polisher:
