Dave Manning cut two lengths of 1X4" boards to the length of the forward and aft canopy bow positions to lock the width in place. We tried pulling the aft corner in toward the center using a strap, but with no luck. We then started bending the right bow using a clamp and 2X4's on the outside and a 1X2" board on the inside to spread out the load. We started in the middle on the right bow and worked our way aft with some success on bending the bow. We need to start using multiple C-clamps for the last 6-8" of the bow.
