3D scans are easy and cheap nowadays. Perhaps even people who print in 3D have handheld scanners.

Otherwise, old school, I sent a shaped aluminium sheet to a local manufacturer (in SA).
They create a template on pins, almost like a needle bed, and drop the soft glass onto it.
Youtube should have videos.

A plexi might change shape in transit (open up).

Apologies for the delayed reply Dominik. I didn’t think about 3D scans. Might be possible to have the plexiglass scanned on the car. Interesting how the glass is shaped. You learn something new everyday.
