Car Canopy

Canopy as Shipped	Canopy Mounted on Wedge - Black Paint Inside

This clear plastic car canopy works great on cars with a flat top surface, such as the WEDGE. It can also be cut and shaped to fit other contours. As shipped, the canopy is 4 inches long by 1 inch tall, but can be trimmed with scissors to a smaller size. A good size is 3-1/2 inches long by 3/4 inch tall.

Canopy Preparation Instructions

	Use a marking pen (such as a Sharpie) to draw a line around the canopy. An easy way to draw an accurate line is to lay the pen and the canopy on a flat surface, and rotate the canopy around the pen. Raise or lower the tip of the pen to achieve the desired size. In this example, I used a standard paper clip under the front edge of the pen to achieve the desired height.
	Cut along the line with a pair of sharp scissors. Work slowly, cutting as straight as possible.
	After cutting, sand the cut edge with 240-grit sandpaper until the cut edge is flat and smooth. Try putting the sandpaper on a flat surface, and moving the canopy back and forth.
	Optionally paint the inside of the canopy. An easy way to do this is to tape the end of a pencil onto the outside-top of the canopy, and then mask off the outside of the canopy with masking tape.
	Apply epoxy to the inside of the cut edge (see arrow) and quickly position the canopy on the car. Use a light weight to apply pressure to the canopy until it dries. If the canopy is not painted, the epoxy will likely show through. The epoxy can be hidden by applying pin-striping around the bottom edge of the canopy.
