This is another "I've tried everything and I'm getting annoyed" question for
the group:  Where can I get a seal for the 360 canopy rollover?  I've tried
hardware store foam weather-stripping of various sorts and air still gets by.
I've focused primarily on sealing the forward face of the rollover since this
avoids the shearing action at the sides of the fuselage.  The vacuum on the
outside of the canopy trailing edge must be substantial.  I see one fellow has
a triangular rubber seal that sits in the inside corner of the canopy and
compresses against the outside corner of the rollover.  Looks good, but where
do I get such a seal?  I tried one distributor online but they make you buy 50
feet minimum.

Please help.  Michigan winter is here and my neck and head are getting cold.

Ed de Chazal
