Default Sealing holes in front of tip up canopy seal

About to install my canopy for the last time and in front of the lip seal under the front edge of the canopy there are a number of holes where the rear edge of the front top panel (the very last one we rivet down over the instruments) rivets to the bulkhead....Phew!

It seams there is nothing to stop water getting in under the front edge of the canopy and dripping on the radios...Either thru these holes on the sides or indeed between the front top skin and the top of the nylon canopy hinge blocks.

Did you guys seal these holes and how?...If not do you get unacceptable leaks?

Thanks

used proseal from the inside and then cut it flush. Once painted looks like one long. "holeless" lip.
