Buy two at about $5.00 each. You will use about one foot of the second seal. It is a neutral color like light gray. The cross section is like the letter S with the top halfof the letter flattened like a Z. Glue that flat side on the aft side of your canopy reinforcement arch at an appropriate position with the free tail of the S pointing into the cockpit so that will contact with the fuselage forward face of the rollover brace when you close the canopy. The cabin pressure will push the seal against the fuselage forward face and give you an airtight seal. There is no rolling of the seal, It is out of the way thus unlikely to be damaged when crawling in and out of the cockpit and leaves no marks on the fuselage. Bob Smiley N94RJ
