Slider canopy builders: Van's plans call for attaching the C-679 "slide
seal" (the little nylon doohickey that follows the canopy like a
Chihuahua on a leash) with either nylon fishing line or 1/16" aircraft
cable. The fishing line I didn't think would last very long, and I
found that the aircraft cable was scratching a nasty groove in the
slider rail. I came up with an idea I think works a little better: I
used a 0.012" stainless "tape", or strap, instead. Easy to make,
durable, and doesn't damage the rail. I've posted a diagram in
yesterday's (11/17) RV List as a photoshare (PDF file):
