Bill,
This is a very cool solution to your problem.
Take a ping pong ball, cut it in half. Bond it to a piece of thin fiber glass and then carefully trim the edges so you have a half a globe with the open end closed off. Dremel out an area on the outside of your canopy so you can pot the thing in with half still sticking out of the cavity you created with your dremel. Insert with the flat side up. Let it cure and sand off the half hanging out.
Wala perfect finger hold. Weighs next to nothing to boot!
No more scratching on your nice paint to get  the canopy open.
This is one of the many stolen ideas that have worked very well for me...

Though it won't lift it an inch, I did mine according to the following and find it works great to lift the canopy enough to get my fingers under the lip.

 Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to install a handle or otherwise to facilitate the raising of the Legacy canopy?  It is very difficult to get it to come up the first inch or so because there is no place to get a hold on it.

 

Pictures would be nice!
