I'm installing my canopy per the plans with screws (no Sikaflex). I'm in the process of riveting on the forward aft skin for good. I have done some searching but haven't found specifically what I am looking for. Can the rear window be installed if I rivet the forward aft skin up to the baggage bulkhead (leaving the ears on the skin free until the rear window is installed)? I clecoed the skin into place to that point and where it wraps around the rear canopy window is pretty rigid. I'm wondering if I need to rivet the skin on with the canopy generally in place just so I won't have to contort it too much in order to slide under the skin. Please share what worked for you.
Did you put anything between the canopy bow frame and the canopy as a "cushion for the rear window"? Not too sure about just screwing the canopy down direct to the bow frame.
Thanks ahead of time for your input!
