Before opening the canopy frame I removed the clecos holding down the forward skin. So when I opened the canopy I had to press down that skin so it didn't hit and interfer with the canopy skin.
CAREFUL about this skin to skin. Until the forward skin is riveted down it can float up and hit the canopy skin when opening. I held it with one hand while opening the canopy with the other.
This was actually a pretty cool thing. I don't have the plexiglass in yet, but still it was fun.
