      Hello, fellow Grumman pilots. I took my AA-1 to the shop to do a multitude of things, and one of them was to put on new canopy track runners. The plane came back from the shop and now the left side of it doesn’t seal completely. Does anyone know how to remedy this situation?

      Couple things I’d check; The thumb screw that holds canopy open make sure it is fully loosened, take off the glare shield or crawl under the panel and see if the canopy rail is hitting insulation/wiring/etc. Also you’re missing the windshield bow seal , that will close the gap about 1/4 inch or so.
