errr - dunno i not got a semi-hi top,
but i would imagine......

do roof main area,
then clad sides,
i'd put top piece in place and use a block along with a pencil and drag it along the length to give you a true close join
work down each side,

you got pics of insde of hi-top roof?

may be a better way than this ??

another line of thought i have had which may be of use to you when fitting to a high top
is the upvc cladding is a box section,
so it should be possible to use a sharp stanley type knife blade and score through the cladding,
do this to the back side of the clad,
and you should then be able to form it round the curves of the roof
rather than going dead square edge to edge etc,
would look neater too

just a thought
