 Interesting.  I find the problem with instrument lighting and the canopy to
 be biggest in the flare.  Or as is more often the case, when I SHOULD have
 flared.  Light reflections up into the canopy really don't bother me much -
 there isn't much UP that I care about.  It's a problem for me when landing
 because I can't see the runway when looking out the lower left part of the
 canopy (looking just in front of the wing), and your extension doesn't seem
 to address that.
 
 I've gotten to the point I hate flying at night because I dread the landing.
 I usually smack it down too hard because I haven't been able to see how
 close I really am to the runway and flare to late.  When I do fly at night
 now I turn my instrument lights so dim I can barely read them in order to
 make the runway easier to see.
 

Before this mod, instrument lighting reflections on the canopy had been
very bothersome during night flight.
