I'm New Here
There was a recent incident that has caused damage to the sliding portion of my RV-9A canopy. Apparently, one of the 6-32 retaining screws backed-out of the WD-640 canopy frame, this resulted in a crescent shaped portion of the Lexan separating in the area directly adjacent to the protruding screw when the canopy was shut (see enclosed photos).
Frankly, I’m at a loss regarding any repair options. Of course replacing the canopy is the worst case option, therefore I would GREATLY appreciate any suggestion/options regarding repair.
Thank you for your advice…
