A small section (about 4 inches) of the canopy skirt doesnt fit as tight to the combing/sheet metal as it does elsewhere. Its no big deal, but would like it to fit tight. Is there any means to reform the fiberglass skirt slightly (less than 1/4")? My thought is to heat it and slighly reform it, but I have never tried this and since my canopy is completed except for paint, I am a bit hesitant to try it without some indication that the method does work. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Dave
