Ladies and Gents;

I have decided to glue the broken triangular piece back onto the canopy instead of purchasing a new canopy for $550 and then go through all the trouble of trimming, drilling, etc...  

To cover the damaged area, I have decided to revert back to the old way of doing things by installing a metal flashing on the front of the canopy. 

This is where I need the help from someone!

Does anyone have the dimensions for this front flashing? My plans are too new and don't show this flashing.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

I don't have my plans handy right now but you could just lay a piece  

of craft paper up there and trim it to fit and use that as a pattern  

for the metal.

My oldest set of plans lists .025, 210 X 1600, 6-C-3, 05/01. Same on the

01/03 version.

XL owners, I need a favor. Can you hop in your plane and measure the

distance from the top of the arm rest 6-B-18-2 where it meets the center

back seat channel 6-B-16-2 and measure the distance between that spot

and the top of the rear Canopy frame 6-C-3-1 where the plastic is joined

to the alum tube. Please measure to the forward side of the tube while

the canopy is in the closed position. I realize the tape measure will

have to bend to reach. Also can you check the height of the arm rest to

the highest portion of your canopy. Each of us have fitted this

differently but I am curious as to the variance and If there is a base

measure to help others in the future. I would use mine for this but I

have installed an older 601HD canopy and it is a different shape then

the 601XL's.

I want to thank every one for their input on the canopy flashing.

There are some good ideas out there probably because the plans are so vague!

I’ve got a lot of work cut out for myself, but labor is cheaper than the $550.

Again, thank you all once again,

Mack
