RV-6 Canopy Cover

Just taken delivery of a Van's RV6 heavy duty canopy cover. It looks really nice and well tailored - until you try to fit it. It will do the job of protecting the canopy but the fit and look is terrible.

Does anyone else have experience with these?

I also notice that they have discontinuing them. Perhaps that's why.

I think I must have bought the last one!

I bought one over 2 years ago and it fits fine. Wet it down and snug up the straps and let it air dry on the plane. Don't pulll the straps real tight while it is wet because it will shrink when dried out, it should fit much better then.

Thanks for the advice - a bit like new Wrangler jeans back in the day
