Default Thanks for all the Sika info

I attached the canopy to the frame on my tipper 7 today. Thanks for all the great info on old threads and the answers to all my questions. I think it went well; I followed instructions from Swayze and Over The Hill. I will leave it clamped up for a few days before removing.

Thanks again!!

Glad you found it helpful. The sikaflex is holding up great after 4 years. Glad I went that way with the canopy.

Yes, I think this is the best attachment method. I did have one thought last night after the fact; if the canopy ever cracks bad then I will have to do the entire frame again as I don't think you could get the canopy back off the frame.
