This weekend we hope to rivet my aft top skin in place, I believe it is the 774 skin.

My -9 is a tip-up and the question is this, should I have the aft canopy plexi in place while we rivet that skin on or will it crack?

Because of the dimples and the roll bar support, I don?t see how I can slide the window in place after riveting.
 
The aft window should be easily removed during construction. I installed it after the skin was riveted for test fitting, removed it for painting, then reinstalled for final finish. Hope this helps.
