I laid my first layer of epoxy/cotton flocks mixture at leading edge of the windshield and aluminum deck. My next layers will be fiberglass mat strips over the the epoxy and up the sides of the windshield and over the top.This is called a fairing lip by some builders. The sliding canopy sides under this fiberglass/ lip when in the closed position. My question arose when builder friend somebody makes a AFTER MARKET FIBERGLASS LIP. SO does anybody know who makes the fiberglass lip???? Here's my other option and that is to NOT INSTALL the fiberglass lip, but because the clearance gap between my slider canopy plastic and the windshield plastic varies ONLY .020 to .040" of a inch. With this closeness I was thinking just a rubber gasket along the underside edge of the top of the windshield. I used sikaflex to hold both canopy and windshield to there frames. No rivets, just adhesive. A friend it keeps the rain out when parking on a ramp but if you look, the slider canopy actually slopes forward toward the gap between the two edges right at the top latch area. With these variables, what are your thoughts on the subject?.??? If you have ever used the sekaflex primer it presents itself as a pretty black edge lines from the outside viewing.
