I'm just curious. What did you use to create your bubble?
I used a plastic bubble.
LOL

Clear Plastic....from some sort of packaging.
I explain on the Model sheet...and on the Assembly sheet...
lol
I used a clear plastic bubble.

Just find something that will give you a bubble of the correct size and height.
Cut off the section you need...a smaller bubble of the correct size,
but make sure you leave some extra material to cut the four extended tabs to locate the bubble.

Again, I put a little diagram on the model sheet.

You can start with a round bubble if you don't have the correct shape.
The tabs will help you reshape it..
As you locate the four tabs into the car body, you deform the bubble into more of a square shape.
Glue the tabs to the body from underneath and lock the bubble in shape!

If you wanted to heat it and shape it better, you could do that.
If you wanted to vacuform it, you could do that.

Mine doesn't fit too good, but its not noticeable unless you examine it real close.
Look closely at my photos and you'll see.
