Hi Alice,
You can have them made to order by Skylight dome makers. In Geelong, there is a place called Plasmould that do these as well as caravan windows and I'm sure there would be a few in Melbourne that do the same thing. To save money you can make the mould yourself using 18mm MDF sheet and they will blow the dome for you. They may already have one that size but if they make one for you it adds at least $100 to the cost. I haven't needed any done yet but I did get a quote for the side windows for $100 each if I made the mould.
Dave
It's on my to do list!

  Hey Alice
       I have a set of rear barn door bubble windows that i bought off epay . I pretty much bought the doors
       for the bubble windows , but there net not see through . Looks like time has took there a toll on them . Faded with 1 bubble has slight surface
       cracks , but overall there firm and strong.
       My plan was to paint them , pretty sure they could be made to look good . But you would lose rear window sight.
       All as Brutus says you could use them as a template to make better ones . That was my next plan , but budget is needed elsewhere .
       I dont have a camera or phone to take pics at the moment .
       I live in Coburg Melbourne , your welcome to have a look ,

       Cheers Frank
