Rear Tip UP Canopy

Norman CYYJ

Well Known Member
I have just screwed up my rear window of the tip up canopy.
Does anyone out there have a spare rear window left over from having to replace the tip-up canopy plexi-glass.
 
Rear canopy replaced and installed. I had a local shop make me a new one. About a third of the cost of getting one from Van's and no shopping.
 
Did your local shop make the replacement from sheet material?

Norman,

Did your local shop make the replacement from sheet material and form the bends or just supplied it in flat condition? Is there any distortion in the bends?

What material did they make if from Lexan (Polycarbonate) or Plexiglas?

The local shop bent the plexi with the proper bends and there are no distortions that I can see. I don't know what the material is but it is not the soft surfaced lexan. It fits perfectly.
 
Outstanding

Norm,

Thanks for the info. Good to hear there is a lower cost solution to a new rear canopy.
