This is how I raised my existing canopy 2” in the rear cockpit , The mod. Is totally removable and can be returned to the original configuration easily . Some foam and epoxie glass cloth and aluminum panels that extend the original side panels up to fill in the gap by raising the canopy. The glass rear turtle deck fairing is held on by screws behind the pilots head . I also welded up a new wider canopy lifting arm to better fit my shoulders . The first photo is of the original lower configuration and the last one is with the 2’ up mod. I personally like the first one for looks but unfortunately I fit better in the second one ! And even better is when I am sitting in my bolt I can’t see the mod but I do sit higher in the seat and I may now wear a seat chute for mental comfort .
