I have just finished the 'big cut' on my RV7 tipup. I thought all went well and then I began lifting the tape.
On the front canopy.....about 1/2" in from the big cut is what I first thought was a scratch. It seems to run parallel to the big cut intermitently from the bottom to nearly the top.
With a bright light it appears to be a shiny hairline imperfection, not a crack running all the way through.
I can feel the imperfection on the surface but, it does not appear to go all the way through. I am no expert (however, if I have to spend another $800 on a canopy I will be an expert).....but, I am not completely convinced it is a crack.
The location leaves in a place where it just lays on the rollbar. Any suggestions?
Can you just cut off 3/4" of an inch and slide the whole canopy back?
Any advice or words of comfort appreciated.
