My part arrived from Van's today - so I cut it to the correct length, slit the underside to make room for the canopy bow base - and tapered the aft end. In reading the instructions, I noticed that the canopy rails are mounted parallel and are 25 5/16" apart - so if that's the rail will need to move outward from where I had them and the taper will be bigger. I worked on that for a while but that's all for tonight.
