The aft fastener in the rail was clearly the wrong fastener. I too have noted the canopies agitation during runup and had always been confident it would not give way. The heat here in Mississippi is brutal even during the brief runup period but I guess a little sweat beats the bucks it is going to take to replace the canopy and it's components. Glad I was at home whebn it happened had just completed a 12 day 21 hr trip through the Southwest the day before. Would hate to have been on the road and lost it. Let me be clear there was no risk of this happening in flight it was, I am sure, a matter of an incorrect fastener and induced fatigue as noted above. Check and make sure you have the correct fasteners in the slide rail. Milt
