I've tried doing a search and maybe I'm search impaired but I haven't found a way of locking the tip up canopy in the open position (handle tab resting on the top of the roll structure) when parked on a very hot day.

Solutions don't necessarily require that configuration, just ventilation and locking for security/theft deterrent when parked...anyone got a solution that they use and like?

Maybe Allan at Anti-Splat...

This modification will allow the canopy to be slightly open and in the locked position.
Photos should be rotated 90 degrees.

Add an additional pin position on the latch post, a slight arc will be required to prevent interference when the post passed thru the square hole.

Cut a radius on the latch to provide clearance for the second pin when in the closed position.

Thanks so much for the idea and the pictures. Consider the idea stolen
