Hey Dan,
I am using many of the details from N357CJ that have served well for 11 years 
now. In the case of the canopy it will have a joggle on all edges that will be 
flush with what ever surface the canopy is meeting upon closing. That is about 
3/8" of over lap. Then on which ever surface is most convenient I will install 
a commercial ?stick on bulb door seal from the building industry. Sometimes 
called a smoke seal. It is usually available in black or white and compresses 
down to about 1/16". Following the installation instructions and applying to a 
glossy painted surface I have had very little trouble with it becoming damaged 
or wearing out.
?? ?You didn't ask but I think that in the picture you can see the way that I 
am latching the canopy this time. I made a 1/4" rod that travels thru several 
guides in the canopy frame and will penetrate the roll over bow of the turtle 
deck as a positive latch and will prevent any sucking up and gaps at the top of 
the canopy in flight.

Very nice Joe. ?I really like the forward opening canopies. ?How do you plan
to have it sealed up when closed?
