Interesting idea.  If you mount the seal on the canopy how do you plan to 
handle the hose from the air pump to the seal?  It's really simple when the 
seal is mounted on the fuselage.  Once it's in place everything is fixed, 
nothing moves.  With the seal on the canopy the hose will need to move to 
handle the canopy movement.  And based on a friend's recent experience the 
junction of the hose connection to the seal can be kind of fragile.  I've 
been in and out of my friend's plane many times and have done quite a bit of 
work behind the panel.  So far the fuselage mounted seal has not been an 
issue.
