After trying to lift the canopy using just a finger tip with the recessed access notch I wasn't happy. Flush it was but a pain as well. SO I designed a little lift tab that would be floxed into the canopy rail. Personally I think that is looks like a chicklet got stick in my airplane so I may need to either trim it down after cure or make another one that is more aerodynamic looking. We'll see. Not a big deal to dink around with it after cure. easy change.
