Default Tip: Great Canopy Weather Strip Product

I saw recently another thread about canopy noise, and I've had great luck with this stuff:

http://www.mdteam.com/products.php?category=1667

The shape is good, and it is silicone, so it doesn't get stiff in the cold at all. I don't recall where I found it, but it was local. They seem to have a lot of different shapes, and perhaps they sell directly, I didn't look.

I used it on the front portion of the slider skirts on my 6A, and also on the rear skirts. I stuck it directly on the turtle deck skins, playing around with temporarily taping it in place. When I found the best spot, I used the self adhesive on it. On the side skirts, I attached it to the inside of the skirts. It has been on for about four years now, no problems at all coming loose.

Most of the MD line can be found at the BORG(HDepot) ,Menards and maybe Lowes. In the aviation aisle, of course.
