Greg,

No, I don't have any pictures of the trays over my instruments, but  I'll 
take a few and post them.  I have a special tip-up front gasket (see  
_www.petesrvaviationproducts.com_ (http://www.petesrvaviationproducts.com) )  which stops 
the water from entering when the canopy is closed.   The  problem is keeping 
water off the instruments when I open a wet canopy and some  water cascades 
down and then rearward (tail-dragger).  That small amount of  water I catch in

three long, narrow (2.5") trays mounted against the rear  side of the firewall

and over the forward half of the gauges.  I learned  after losing my 
transponder to rain a year ago that Van's tip-up front  gasket and design gives
limited 
water protection.  That got me thinking  about a better solution to keeping 
water out of a tip-up canopy.
