Brief Description: Sand the inside skirt edge until not rubbing again
I started off block sanding under the skirt outer edge where I had marked where it was too tight against the skin when closed. This was lots of opening and closing the canopy. I finally decided and also found that leaving it closed up tight works beter. I simply would slide big piece of 60 grit paper under the skirt where it wasnt too tight and then with both hands slight it all along the edge and then agressively back and forth in those tight areas. I eventually worked up to double layering the paper. This took long time because I noticed that when I sanded one area, It would loosen up and ease in some and cause another area to tighten up again. So this was and all around the skirt sanding operation. Good news is that the canopy opens and closes much beter now. I also believe I will have clearence for paint. I warn against fitting this thing too tight early on. Remember that paint will make it even tighter and cold weather even more so, Just food for thought.
Now maybe I can get busy on the canopy handle and latch
