Canopy Seal

One of things mentioned in my checkup at US Sport Aircraft last year was my canopy seal. I had successfully corrected a major leak from behind the pilots head using standard 1/4 foam weather stripping from a home improvement center. It worked, but I thought we could do better. Patrick mailed me an improvement which I installed yesterday. The product is "726 Press-On Weatherstrip" from Hager Companies out of St. Louis. I haven't flown it yet, but it sounds like I'm opening the refrigerator door when I open the canopy. It looks great. If you are fighting drafts this could well be your solution.

where do you install it on the canopy? i need to do that. i have a draft from rear to front between the seats. i installed the sponge 3/4 inch on two channels on the canopy shell that moves. doesnt seem to help but closes snugly.
