I am also interested in the replies=2C as I recently bought the white fusel
age to canopy seal for my Tiger. The black one (canopy to fuselage) seemed
to be in pretty good condition with no looseness or rattling of the canopy
. Haven't installed the white one yet=2C but I believe it is required as i
t is more a air and water seal???

I know by the previous post from Gary about shutting the list down that th
ere must be someone out there other than me receiving the posts here=2C so
thought I should put something in play. Instead of waiting for my next trip
to KAUN=2C I'll ask some post painting questions so perhaps everyone may b
enefit. Here is the first. Before painting I bought new canopy seals from F
letchair and gave them to the paint shop. Unfortunately they did not quite
know what to do with black one (which should go on the canopy) but did ins
tall the white one on the fuselage. Then when the canopy would not close t
he last 6 inches or so=2C they removed the white one and trimmed the plasti
c piece where it attaches. Now I have them both and only a smashed black r
ubber seal remains on the canopy itself. I understand some people have appl
ied a strip of felt at the back of the canopy instead of the factory seals.
Should I put in the new black and white seals=2C put a felt strip on the
canopy or just say the heck with it and let Gary fix it when we change the
windshield in a month or so? Dennis CheeverN3752W

The plastic white seal is useless. It will deteriorate in a couple of
years and drag on the fuselage. A felt seal is better. It will last
about 5-10 years.
