In flight there is quite an airflow into the cockpit either side coming from the area where the canopy pivot point is attached to the fuselage. Any others with this situation and what suggestions for eliminating or reducing same.

Hey John - -

I put a 1/8" soft white ribbed rubber seal across the rear-most part of the top of the dash. On the sides of the rear of the dash area, put thicker foam type seals. Under the canopy edges, put a 3/8" foam seal all the way to the rear of the canopy frame. If you work with it a while, you can get it down to near zero air leaks. In Iowa, if you don't seal it, you will freeze for sure.
