Default Canopy skirt fitting RV4

Looking for a good suggestion on fitting the lower right front corner of the skirting where it contacts the lip coming off of the instrument panel. As the canopy is hinged to open position the forward corner ahead of the hinge line
arcs inward and binds on the lip at the right side of the instrument panel.
Looks like about an inch of the panel lip could be cut away to maintain a constant line of the canopy skirt. Or cut the canopy skirt back but that looks
like it would leave a gap and spoil the looks of the skirt.
Any suggestions or pictures would be appreciated.
Ted

Default Canopy Skirt

Hi Ted

I cut the lip from the forward top skin along the insturment panel (about 1 1/2" long) so the outside skin would swing inward. send me your e-mail address if you would like pix's.
