Hey Y'all!
Have to redo the Slider Canopy Latch on my new (to me) RV-6 (some nosy nellie broke the old one off first night she was home, not realizing canopy was in fact locked). I'm curious as to why builder would have trimmed the previous latch to such a "dainty" thinness? I haven't yet tried to fit the new one, but is there something forward of the pin that would drive the need for this? She's 20 years old, and obviously some fatigue in the thin latch hook was also at play.
