<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> I have been wondering the same thing about the lip seal. What actually causes potential
gaps? Is it loose trimming of the bubble? Is it not having the lip seal
fitted so that the lip actually works? Does the forward deck skin deflect locally
and unpredictably thereby allowing leaks?
+++ What does it is sloppy workmanship even in the factory versions. You get from your project a result commensurate to the care and time you put in. Trim the canopy correctly (mine needed very little trimming) so that it sets on the skins evenly over the entire contact area front and rear before applying the sealing strip. If you decide to allow the sealing strip to fill in little gaps you'll get that in the final look.
BTW, Chris used to recommend the "pencil" method of fresh air intake - now this was a looonng time ago. He would stick a pencil up under the rubber seal and use that in hot wx. If you have one of the old Zenith posters with the original red demonstrators (one of them Chris' personal a/c) you can see it with help of a magnifying glass.
