Hey folks….I asked this question on the Facebook group as well but thought if I’d get any further input on here. Long story short….was working on my tip up -7 today and the canopy struts must be getting weak because the canopy slammed down from the up position. All looked OK until I went to close. Now the front of the canopy around the fairing is raised maybe 1/4” and there is a noticeable gap. A little more on the left side than the right. The canopy is bonded and everything is still tight to the frame and no bends or cracks anywhere. It was suggested that the pivot attach points on the WD-716 got tweaked down a little causing the rise in the front. Makes the most sense to me. Is this plausible? If so….what would be the best route to a repair? I’m a bit gutted about it.
