Re: canopy

I used several pieces of plexiglass cut in pieces so they would fit my hand. Then I used them to scrape off the protective film. It doesn’t hurt the canopy plexiglass. But it did take a long time

Re: canopy

I just Googled " pinstripe removal tool" That will get you there. I've always used ones like you see from Mastercraft but I think I would get one of those or consider a wider one.
