make a carboard template and bend around the desired shape - cut and trim where necessary to get a good close fit , transfer the shape of the template to the plastic and cut exactly the same. Now when you wrap t e plastic around it fits perfectly, (this is just to get the shape right obviously.)
now paint a 1/8" or so wide strip on the INSIDE of the canopy at the bottom to hide your glue joint from the inside
lightly sand the bottom edge othe exterior of the canopy the same 1/8"
put fine line masking tape as close to the top of the painted line as you can on the outside
put the canopy in place and glue with epoxy, as the epoxy hardens a little - use some denatured alcohol to smooth the joint up to where the tape is to feather it
remove the tape and do any additional smoothing out as necessay
this is the way I do it anyway, I find the epoxy is tough enough that is does not crack and gives a nice surface par paint to adhere to .....
I have pictures somewhere........
