Options from Vans & ELSA certification?

[Rick_A]

Vans sells a glareshield http://vansaircraft.com/cgi-bin/store.cgi?ident=1415025886-66-489&browse=airframe&product=12-glare-shield and canopy base moldings http://vansaircraft.com/cgi-bin/store.cgi?ident=1406156350-276-387&browse=airframe&product=12-canopy-trim.

Can these be added prior to ELSA certification or do they have to be installed after certification to be ELSA compliant?

If you have written authorization from Vans, you may do it before certification.
Otherwise it must be after.
