Did you find an answer? RV7 Slider. I've been digging through everything I have, and there is nothing labeled C653. If we had specs we could fabricate. Closest thing I have is a "AS3-032x1x48. I'd use it but I have no specs for the 653 and the 032 seems a bit thin for the application. Help!?Good morning everyone,
I'm wondering about the cover strip for my slider canopy. I can't seem to find the part C 653 nor can I find where it says it needs to be fabricated. Did I miss something?
Thanks in advance

I'm sorry, it's a RV7. SliderWhich model RV are we talking about?
All the -6, -7, -9 sliding canopies are the same.
It has been three decades since I fabricated this part on my RV-6. I think jehardy is correct and it is fabricated from AS3-032x1x48. I forget the thickness but 0.032 or 0.025 thickness sounds correct.
Good enough for me! Thanks! jim
Pretty sure this is it. Look up the part number in your builder instructions binder--it will identify the size and material of each part by part #.Did you find an answer? RV7 Slider.

did you place any attachment at all on the spine then? Glue? One further issue I'm having now is that when the slider plexi is placed on the frame it sits more like a gull wing appearance. clamp one side, and the other stands up about 3 inches. Any recommended paths for relaxing it?I had this on my 6-A slider and got a 20 inch crack across the canopy through one of the rivet holes above my head on a cold day. I repaired the crack twice only to have it reoccur. I had seen some sliders without the strip and no rivets along the top bar. I replaced the plexi in the slider and did no put the cover strip back on. I have several years on the new canopy and it works fine. YMMV
