When you lock the canopy it opens this valve so the canopy seal will inflate when you move th e lever beside your right leg. This is not the valve attached to the pressu rization lever. This valve also releases canopy seal pressure if you unlock the front canopy before you depressurize it. Taking this valve out of the system, I had a charge last over 8 days. This was with the plane static and no use but still pretty significant. If I could find a new valve, I would be golden.

From: "fougapilot" Guys, So by now, we all know that canopy seals are almost impossible to find, so we need to take good care of the ones we have. Mine aren't new, but they still work and I would like to keep it that way. I know most of the tricks, keep the canopy cover on and out of the sun... but do you guys use a specific product to protect your seal? A beefed up Armor All kinda product? Thanks.

Armour All is all I use to try to keep soft and pliable. Apply several time s a year. =C2-I was able to find a new front canopy seal but not the rear . Both of mine are good for now. If there is something better I would like to know too.
