The pre canopy fits all looked good and I didn't even have to touch the front bow...it looked perfect already. So with the help of Cyndi, we slide the canopy on after I peeled away some of the edges and taped it up. It seemed to fit good, so I went ahead and marked the contact tangent line. I should have waited till after I did some more trimming of the edges. For the most part it fit good, but I did have to grind away at the corners to allow the fwd edge to lay flat. I also had to take a little off the sides since they were already contacting the frame and it is supposed to have 1/8"-1/4" gap. I probably should have payed more attention to the aft gap to the aft window more....I think I assumed that there would be plenty on the aft side and that I would have to cut it to size...not the case.
