I have looked at lots of threads re using Sikaflex to bond the canopy . I am going this way, but have a question for those who have done it.
The plans call for a seal between the aft edge of the canopy and the frame. I presume this seal is not needed if Sika is used to bond the aft edge of the canopy to the frame as this would create the needed seal. Assuming enough Sika is used at the interface between the plexiglass and the aluminum frame hoop. Right?
This is the seal I mean:
