Exclamation Summit EXOcage creation for TopKick

I am trying to create a EXO-cage using stock summit parts of a cage onto a proline GMC Topkick body.
my question is? can you boil the stock parts to bend it to shape from stock?
im trying to get the section around the windshield to wrap around and stretch enough to say it will be closer to where the the wipers are.

so it wont look like a giant bar going across the windshield any tips to help?

any advice/tips will help

A heat gun will bend the cage, stretching prolly not going to stretch much unless you heat it too much and then it will be difficult to keep aligned while it cools. Heating it that much may make it more prone to breakage too. Hair dryer on high may work too.

If it don't stretch it will be fine.
