I had previously set the gap between the forward skin and canopy skin at about 1/32″, but this was causing the canopy skin to catch on the forward skin as the canopy was opening. I opened this up to about 1/16″ and that works much better.
I also fit the weatherstripping along the sides of the cowl. The canopy fits much more tightly with this in place and requires it to be pulled down firmly in order to be latched. I shouldn’t have any problems with air leaking around the sides with this in place.
