I did a little further trimming on the canopy latch handle brackets and then trimmed the side panel to fit around it and the push/pull tube.
Here’s a closeup of the cutout around the canopy latch. The fit is snug across the bottom and aft end and follows the side caps along the front edge.
Here’s a closeup of the cutout for the push/pull tube. I’ll need to paint the area behind here and around the latch handle since the side panels won’t completely cover these areas.
