The RV-14 canopy rests on the upper longeron assembly when closed. It is typically painted but subject to a lot of scuffing and wear. I ordered the Classic Aero interior, including sidewalls, but they do not cover this area. I found an inexpensive, thin EVA plastic sheet, actually intended for lining shelves that seemed a good candidate for this project. The other component is a very thin double sided adhesive, 3M 300LSE. Portions of the sidewall must be removed so the material can fit down under the top of the sidewall trim, more involved on the pilot side. I found putting the double-sided tape down first works best. Then fit & trim the plastic sheet using scissors and hobby knife.
Attached are some pictures of the process and results.
