I'll take the hardware off my rusty metal roof and just make the perspex one to the exact same dimensions then. I've got a bandsaw for a straight cut.

Actually, I haven't played with perspex much, does anyone know if its easy to mould it? I mean, the sunroof has a bit of a curve in it, would a bit of heat mould a curve in the perspex? or is there another way?
