Scott,
No, I knew what you ment. The fact that they are noviates is great. I would try to free up the bottom of the window frame part. Debonder might be the best bet. mine was glued per the instructions and even then the wood protested when bent. You might try a little water and amonia on the joint to soften it befor you try to form it to the top. It pulls in at the rear and should be softened a little.
Are you talking about the cabin top with referance to cover? It will cover just fine, you might need to use a little balsarite on it to stick the cover on as you pull the cover over the contours. Ken used plastic on his and it looks super. Post your fotos, I am waiting for them.
