Question Bay Window Roof

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas regarding a bay window roof. I am interested in an Andersen 30 degree bay window and have no idea how to "cap" it. The window it is replacing is a bow window which has a vinyl cap over it. I would like to do something similar but have not had any luck finding one, plus, Andersen has a cable support system and I have only 10 inches or so to the soffit so I don't know if that type would work with the new window. I am wondering if I am left to build a small roof over the new window. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Dave

Will the new window be completely under the existing soffit ?

The new window sticks out about 2" more than the soffit and is about 10" below.

Ok....yeah, you gotta have a roof then......if you can keep 'em back under the soffit, I usually run a verticle run of soffit material or plywood up to the soffit and around the angle on top.....ain't gonna work here.


You're gonna have to build a mini roof.......you can't use one of those "high class" metal roofs because you don't even have enough height for one.....you're barely gonna have enough even for any kind of "conventional" roof, since you'll loose another inch or two for the eyebolt and cable deal they use to support them....
