bubbletop
Clear protective enclosure
A bubbletop is a transparent dome-shaped cover, especially one enclosing a car's passenger compartment or a helicopter cockpit.
The term gained prominence after President Kennedy's assassination—his convertible lacked the protective bubbletop that might have saved him.
The presidential limousine's bubbletop was bulletproof.
