Ok, I have determinedly canopy is longer
On on side vs the other from rear corner tangent to front tangent. This is on the side of the canopy front to rear.

The back appears to be symmetrical but the front tangents are at a different for aft position. The RH side is forward or longer.

With that, I have to trim the canopy.
Up to 1/2" near the corner fading to 0" up to the center of the canopy.

Now, any advice on trimming this rascal or is it simply cut with cutoff wheel

Oh yes and I will probably measure it 20 more times before I cut this thing!

Any advice from you guys?

Richard,

 

I marked the canopy where I wanted to cut it, of course after measuring and looking at it 20 times.  I then placed some wide tape along the area I wanted to cut.  I could see through the tape to the canopy line so I transfered the line to the tape.  I used a dremel tool with a cut-off wheel to cut the canopy.  Support your hand well so the dremel cannot take-off on it's own.  I cut along the line 3-4 times before it got pretty thin, then on the last go around would cut it through the canopy.  I had no issues with cracking using the cut-off wheel.  I used the tape mainly to have a buffer for in case the dremel got away from me and chattered across the tape instead of marring the canopy.  Also don't forget to wear safety glasses and a tight fitting face mask as the process generates a lot of plastic dust.

 

Good luck,

 

Dave

Hi Richard.

Zenith advise not to cut the canopy with a cutter that has teeth!

This advice worked for me. I used  an angle grinder with a thin cut off wheel fitted. Pull toward the tool - never push as it can grab a little. Also pick a warm day as the canopy is less brittle when its warm.
