I have tried to do the same. I really would like a better
solution though. Sooner or later it is going to happen again. i just picked up
some cloth material that will not burn. I will post my findings to the group
if it works. Randy Snarr

My second re-covering of the glare shield lasted about 48 hours without a
burn mark. Got distracted when a TV camera crew walked up with the
camera rolling (my 15 minutes of fame). So, I said, "screw this".
I put an EAA sticker over the burn marks. It's been there for 9
years. I try to not park with the sun behind the plane and try to
keep the canopy closed. A bit difficult when I pull the plane out of the
hanger and it's facing north for taxi.

Everyone has seen the burn marks on your dust cover
over the instrument panel from the canopy glass caused by the sun when
it hits at the right angle.
Mine was really nice. It was covered in
a sinthetic black leather. Anyway, I have already recovered it once
and tried to be really careful with it. In short, it has about 20 or
so burn marks in it in 2 years.
I am looking for a black
material (or could be painted black) that will not burn that is thin
that two 8" patches could be made to protect the sides of the glare
shield where the sun is hitting it.
Basically I would use an
adhesive to glue down these patches where the sun hits to stop the
burn holes...
Any ideas?
