I finally got around to positioning the rear (tip-up) canopy window of my RV-7A (skin clecoed around it in the back), and I find that, with the outer (lowest) edges just touching the front canopy window, there is about a 1/4" gap between the window pieces at the top center.  I had not expected to have to trim the front edge of the rear canopy piece after making the “big cut,” anticipating that it would follow the front canopy piece evenly along the roll bar.  Have others found the need to trim the front edge of the rear piece, taking off about 1/4" at the edges, and very little in the center?

Yes, the rear window typically requires trimming as you mentioned…1/4” sounds about right. Just do a little at a time.
