Weatherstrip?
Hi Steve,
I didn't use an external weatherstrip, though I know many do. I sealed the skirt/fuse junction with 3M single sided sticky foam tape, about 3/4" x 1/2" in section. I stuck it on the inside of the skirt where you can't see it from outside. The skirt edge to tape distance had to vary to maintain sufficient contact with the fuse, but not so much that it made closing the canopy difficult. The foam squashes after time, makes a good seal, and stops any vibes, and you can't see it! I also used it at the front of the canopy frame/sill area where the frame kicks up and wind may whistle through.
Hope this helps.
