My RV-14 has about about 55 hours now. I am having trouble keeping the factory supplied D-shaped gasket/seal for the forward canopy in place. It wants to protrude along the top intersection, become displaced and eventually come loose. I have removed it, cleaned the surfaces, and re-installed it with Permatex automotive RTV, but that did not hold.
The way the canopy hinges down seems to squeeze it out the front along the top. I am wondering if there is a better choice of gasket material? Is this D-molding too large for the gap?
Would be interested in hearing if others have experienced this and come up with a better gasket part, or other clever ideas.
