It is over priced. I have used "static cling" green plastic from Pep Boys
that cost $12 for over 10-years. One thing nicer about the "static cling"
tint material is that I can see through it when doing ACM.

Im considering flying up there to look the area over, On google earth,
looks like lots of hangers in Hamilton. Any folks on here from that
area, or know of RV's there? Charlie Heathco.

I have a tip-up -7a and have thought about putting one in, but I've wondered if
even with the canopy pushed back doesn't the bar
ruin the once-wide-open view?

Charlie - I put a Koger shade in my -6A a couple months ago after flying since
October 2008 without one, and yes the price seems a
bit high but I'm glad I have it. It works great, is convenient / easy to adjust
as needed, and is easy to install. No regrets, and I
consider it money well spent.
Mine is a tip up, not a slider, so can't speak to those questions but have a friend
with a -6 slider that has one installed and he's
just as happy with it.

Any interference with open or closing the slider?
Are they worth the price - $160 each from Van's?

Hi Matt-
This is a bit of a tangent, but I though you (and perhaps others) might find it
useful. I have an -8 with an IO-360 and heavy prop, so fwd CG is a consideration.
I would like to be able to (among other things) camp at OSH with tent and
sleeping bags, while still having someone in the second seat. My solution
was to hinge the aft baggage aft bulkhead to fold forward / flat and continue
the aft baggage deck aft to the next frame. This allows me quite a bit of volume
for high bulk / low density items like sleeping bags or canopy covers, without
any undue aft CG hazard.
FWIW, YMMV, etc

Matt,
I and several of the other RV'ers at LVK have used the Cleveland Tool canopy covers
for several years and like them a lot. Very light weight and seem to be completely
water proof. I don't know about the RV-8 cover, you'd have to call Cleveland
and ask about covering the forward baggage opening.

Dear Listers,
I'm in the market for a top-notch canopy cover for the RV-8. I'm wanting the highest
quality materials and workmanship on the product. I want it for overnight
trips where it might rain so it needs to completely cover the front baggage
door. When folded up, I don't want it to completely fill the limited rear baggage
area in the RV-8, either.
I Google RV-8 Canopy Cover as well as looked at Van's Online catalog, and there
seems to be plenty of "options", but I'm looking for some empirical data on quality,
fit, and stowage.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

My wife is insisting on getting a pair, but the price seems pretty
steep.
