Took mine to a local glazing company. They had a huge bending machine for making shop front profiles. 2 minute job.

If you've got the wrong hardness it will crack when you bend it, if it's too thick you will not get a bend it will curve. I clamped mine
to the chassis then bent it round the rails.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
