Saratoga made their roofs from tempered glass, not perspex.
The reason it's harder to do than you might think is because the sunroofs are curved, not flat, and matching the curve is difficult. I expect you may be able to get a flat piece to seal eventually with enough messing around, but it wouldn't look nearly as good as properly shaped roof.

I doubt if you could use one of "PaPa Johns" pizza ovens to heat it up to bend. That is about the size oven you would need.
