Hi Ben, I you've got the original side hinge type of canopy,I would change it to the forward hinge -follow the Guru and friend- who is in the process and posts pictures- Mark Langford ((n56ml) . There have been 2 near fatalities that I know of due to side hinged canopies opening in flight (one in WA that you might know). With a front hinge it should be possible to raise the height and modify to suit yourself. Regards, Mac Wood
