Look at Maytag washing machines, front loaders. There is a neat seal ring sold by the each for about $5.00 about four feet long. Buy two units from the parts department and glue them on the aft side of the canopy rollover bar. When you close the canopy the seal closes the gap between the canopy rollover and the fuselage rollover bar. No rolling or abrading and the seal works great. The cross section is similar to the letter Z on one half and Letter S on the other half. Glue the flat side to the canopy in such a way that the cabin pressure presses the seal against the aft fuselage rollover bar. Use the regular D tube for the rest of the canopy.
