Hi,
I now have a small crack (~5cm long) in the clear plastic window.
Was looking in the shops for a super glue to hold it together.
Is the plastic window made of Polyethelene or Polypropelene or what?
It makes a difference to the type of glue to use.

The local motor trimmer said that 'welding' vinyl is quite easy but he had no idea how to do the window. Look up your local motor trimmer and go get a quote.

Just found one piece of information which says that it is PVC.

I'm considering it. Lot of money though if I can easily fix it. The rest of the roof is in good condition. See how the repair goes. Glued it up this afternoon.
