| Subject: | Stiff slider on RV9 |
I am having difficulty with the canopy on my 9A. What happens is that it is essentially
impossible to start it sliding from the closed position.
I thought it was the rear pin blocks that were binding, but it does the same thing
with them completely removed.
If I am inside, I can get it started by slightly pushing up on the rear. From the
outside, the only way is to pull up on the rear. Since the canopy rear skirts
are not yet installed that is now
possible, but when they are installed it will be impossible. Once I get it to move
about 1/2 - 1 inch, then it moves back easily.
I have checked everything I can think of and everything seems to be spot on, but
I am obviously missing something.
Has anyone run into this problem? Does anyone have suggestions as to what I should
look for?

Your description of opening from the inside is typical and that is how I open mine.
From the outside you may choose to install a tab made out of aluminum angle
mouted to the side skirt and canopy frame on each side. This gives you leverage
to lift and slide your canopy rearward.
