Dave,
With my canopy, that corner of the canopy presses against the side of the fuselage, so there is no "flapping" in the breeze. The rubber seal seems to hold just fine.
However, I have another canopy problem. (My canopy is completed) During assembly, I used the latches frequently, with no problem. Now, when the canopy is up, the latching mechanism works just fine. With the canopy down and latched, most of the time I can't unlatch it with the outside turn button. I have drilled holes in the frame to get emergency access to the latches. I can open them through those holes. Obviously, that is not an acceptable method, long term. Any suggestions?

I am now working on the canopy and I mirror the comments before me that this is one of the more frustrating parts to work on. But I am chugging on and making progress.
For the outside flashing piece it is attached to the frame, but extends past the frame to the aft edge of the canopy bubble. On the prints and pictures I have seen, there appears to be no fasteners attaching the flashing to the canopy as it extends to the aft edge. I can't imagine just the rubber seal strip being the only thing to hold it down. How have you guys kept this piece from flapping in the breeze?
Thanks,
