For what it's worth, I found some sun screen material for the canopy on
my LNC2 this past week.  It's a 12 x 16 inch patch of self-stick plastic,
dark green with a dot-matrix patten of clear.  Adapts to the compound
curves of the canopy just fine, although it's not easy to get all of the
tiny air bubbles out.  With our 100+ weather the past two months, I'm not
going to worry about that for now.

The stuff is mad by AXIUS accessories, and I found it at Wal-Mart for
$2.87 per sheet.  Goes on dry, and I got it on my parallelogram canopy in
less than 15 minutes, without help (@97 degrees F).  I've put one on each
side, just in case I get my hours flown off and have an occupant in the
right seat.

While looking, I found that AXIUS also makes a solid color (dark smoke)
version that seems to be the same material,  16 x 16 inches at K-Mart for
$1.99.  I prefer the dot-matrix look,  although the 12 x 16 rectangles
leave something begging esthetically.  

Maybe AXIUS makes the stuff in larger sheets that would address the
asthetics.  Their phone is 888-99-9487, located in California.
