Canopy Side Skins Question

Well Known Member
Plans section 38-26 step 3 says to ?break the upper edges? of the C-01419-L&R canopy side skins and the canopy skin slots so they fit tightly to the canopy. What is the practical interpretation of this step? After final drilling this doesn?t seem like the time for this to occur. Thanks for any feedback!
 
As long as you haven't dimpled anything you can break the edge without any trouble.

I *lightly* ran my break tool down those edges.

I wouldn't break them to the point they will touch the fiberglass. You're probably going to put a bead of proseal along those edges after paint for weather and aesthetics.

If you've already dimpled then breaking the edge is tough.
 
Thanks for the response. What did you use to make the bend and did you begin it above the holes or below?
