My wife pretty much always pulls it, I like the view most of the time. But when visiting Florida, it is always in use. Also great for when you're parked on a sunny ramp for a few hours but don't want to break out the canopy cover.
A word of advice -- follow the instructions and be sure to permanently attach the cover to the front rib, otherwise a panel may depart while taxiing with the canopy open. This may only be a 'problem' with a slider. If anyone at Triple Tree '14 found piece of Koger fabric... or anyone in Lynchburg in summer of '13. Yes, this has happened to me twice, I guess I am dense.

Love it! Must have item in the sun. ☀️
BTW, also nice for IMC when IFR to help with slight vertigo from going in & out of clouds. As a habit, I extend it before starting an approch. Don't know if really helps but, gets me focused. 😀

I have the large, and never flew with the small.
I would think that when seeking sun protection, larger is better.

The short one is all you need for the slider, if you have a tip up the short is all that fits.

Not correct
I have a tip up and have the wide version ordered from vans and its excellent. I would look into that as I do not believe you are correct.
I believe the specs are on the vans web.

I was reluctant to obstruct my pristine view in the tip-up and mostly just got it for the girlfriend's comfort, but I have to admit after using it for a year, its a game changer...as others have said, a must have for summer flying.
