Glenn You're right. I have been struggling with how to latch my canopy for several months, discarding three attempts so far. Have you spotted one in particular that you see as a possible candidate? My canopy will open forward like Mark Langford's and Joe Horton's. I'm thinking a latch from a small import as they tend to use a lockable handle or push button style of lock. Maybe a Mazda Miata? Any suggestions gladly welcomed. Thanks for the great idea!!! Pete Klapp, building KR-2S, N729PK, Canton, Ohio
