Vent Window

I cracked my first canopy...

...and one thought I had was to install a plastic vent in this area to hide the screw up. I had previously seen an RV-6 tip-up with a vent and when I went back to look at it, close inspection revealed that this ac also had cracked the canopy (same spot as mine). The vent really did mask the crack.

Canopy #2 is fine and has no vent.
