We tried = all kinds of mods and finally just made a new glareshield from a mold. = Others have performed major surgery on their stock glareshields and got = them to fit. We talked to Lancair three years ago when we became aware = of the problem and offered them our mold to copy. Lanciar insisted that = there was not problem with their glareshield so we dropped it but have = been making glareshields from our mold for other Legacy builders. I = don't know whether the glareshields that Lancair is currently supplying = fit but the ones delivered with at least the first 100 kits did not. I = don't think there is any mod that can reasonably be made to the canopy = to correct the problem. One other thing to think about. If you designed your instrument panel = based on the room available underneath the stock glareshield, you need = to take a hard look at your top row of boxes. If they were a marginal = fit, they will not fit under a glareshield that will fit under the = canopy.
