Greetings to the two-place builders and flyers:

I am currently working on the canopy installation of my Legacy.  The construction manual specifies provisions for a canopy defroster.  However, I would prefer not to run SCAT tubing up to the front of the canopy, since this would be exposed every time the canopy was opened.   I would rather have my duct work such that it runs just through the dust cover.  No SCAT tubing from here.  Then,  when the canopy is closed, the defroster opening/flange in the bottom of the canopy stiffener would mate with the rigid duct running just through the dust cover.  Anybody do this?  I guess what I'm looking for are pre-made heater/defroster flanges from the automotive world which might be also suitable for the application I described above.

Anybody have any good ideas?  If not, I guess it would not be that difficult to design and fabricate my own.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
