Just got my SuperTrack canopy slider extension installed on my RV-7A and its all good, except, the canopy slider block is catching on a lap joint on the fuselage.
Anyone had this issue and how was it resolved?
what comes to mind:
1) trim the bottom of the canopy slider block so it misses the joint. concern about weakening the canopy block?
2) bond a plastic shim to the bottom of the canopy slider block where it rides on the T-rail--this would force the bottom to clear the skin. not sure of best way to bond plastic to uhmw..
3) it may be that the builder (not me) actually ground the top of the T-rail slot to make the canopy sit lower and thus, replace the block with a new one?
