I’ve Sika’d my RV7 sliding canopy and the rear bow is too narrow and catching on the skins when slid rearward (adjacent to the locating pins). The rollers are well centred within the channels, so it is only the rear bow that needs to be wider (1/4” per side). I’m wondering if I could widen the bow by pulling the ends apart, or is the risk of cracking the canopy too great. I’m assume it will have reasonable flex given that it is only attached with Sika.
I’d appreciate any advice on best way to resolve.
