Tasker) 2. 08:49 PM - Re: Stiff slider on RV9 (biovail2001@yahoo.com) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 07:08:24 PM PST US From: "Richard E. Tasker" Subject: RV9-List: 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? Dick Tasker -- Please Note: No trees were destroyed in the sending of this message.

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.
