You might want to try something like this. You can order it online and probably also get it from amazon. I always use Evergreen because it's what Hobby Lobby sells. But they do not have the half round.

Thanks Mark, and I do have both Evergreen and Plastruct styrene products in my bag of stuff up in the loft. Without checking, I think I have half round, also square rod and round rod, styrene sheet in various thicknesses, and some girders and roof trusses too . . .  Thanks anyway for the tip.

Following some careful calculations and measuring, I have cut out the front screen from thin clear film, and also cut out the inner frame from thin white card.

The inner frame will be painted the same colour emulsion as the headlining . . . The screen glass will be glued in place using Crystal Clear white glue, while the inner frame will be fitted over the edges of the screen from the inside of the body, using washable PVA glue.

This is the first time that I have tried this technique to fit a windscreen / windshield, so I am not sure what to expect . . . This idea just came into my head.
