2002 Punto
I'd guess it's a write off, sadly.

If this going through the insurance, the car is beyond economic repair.
Windscreen is going to be an fitter job. The screen is bonded in. Removing a bonded in screen and not breaking it is difficult. Then the actual stuff to stick the windscreen to the car so stop any leaks.
Looking at the damage, is the lip where the screen bonds undamaged? As long as you can get that area to still seal with a new windscreen does it matter? That should be easily straightened with clamps but would need the windscreen removed.
Repairing the leading edge of the roof is going to be difficult, as you won't be able get behind the lip as there will probably be a second skin reinforcement. So buy a cheap glue dentless removal kit quick search bought up these https://www.thedrive.com/reviews/26866/best-dent-repair-kits probably best to have a go before fitting a new screen.

Slight hiccup the other day. Went alongside one of those scrap metal pickups with a cage on the back and didn't notice the door was open. It caught the top of the windscreen and then scraped along the roof.
Cracked the windscreen and dented the frame and the roof. Any suggestions on how much I'd be looking at to get it fixed. It's a 2002 Punto so there's a limit on how much it's worth spending on it.
Cheers
