Hi - What are some good ways to stop canopy travel aft? At the canopy rails or at canopy slide cap? I didn’t see a call out in plans so I guess it is builder discretion. Thanks in advance.

A piece of rubber hose tucked into the track. Acts as a stop & a cushion. Put a stop in both rails.

Stop

Plus one for the rubber hose. You can adjust the length so your handle doesn’t smash into the seat back when turned horizontal.

I took a piece of starboard block that I cut to fit in the track and secured it with a stainless screw.

plus a handle

Rubber hose stops for me as well. Also, I added a small handle for sliding the canopy. Look directly above the star point just aft of the canopy plexi. This is super convenient and loads the canopy symmetrically while moving.
