Replacing roof insert

Hi guys, I'm replacing the vinyl insert on my 1932 902 5 passenger sedan. I've prepped the wood bows and have gathered the vinyl and padding and aluminum molding. I'm able to install most of the parts with the exception of the aluminum molding.
This roof requires the molding to fit in 4 rounded corners, but I can't seem to find a way to get the molding bent to fit the roof of my car. Is there a part I didn't get for the corners? Every bender I take the molding to says I can't bend it, that it would split or collaps.
Surely someone has to have replaced the aluminum molding on these cars in the past 80 plus years. Any suggestions to where I go for help? Thanks in advance.
