If you are totally commited to getting the extra head room with the bubble
door "glass"
you might try taking the doors off and gradually and carefully heating the
offending area with the door upside
down and allow it to sag under its own weight. then let it cool and replace
the doors
Of course this approach would only give you an extra 20 to 30mm. This way if
you are happy with the
result it has cost you very little, and if you wreck the "glass" then you
can still go ahead and replace it
as you first intended.

Dear All,
last November I bought D-EJWD, a Europa Classic Mono with Rotax 912 UL.
Since the headroom is definately not sufficient with cussions installed
just thick enough for a comfortable seating position (for max. 2
hour-flights) - I am looking for those bubble doors I have seen on few
UK-pictures on europaowners.org.
Where are they from? Did aerodynamics change with installation? Are there
any other options of getting more headroom easily?
Thanks for a hint or two.
Regards,
