I used a quarter turn zeus fastener on my Integral and it has worked well but requires a tool and it is a little tricky to install. On my Gaudius I'm using a single 6-32 nylon thumb screw that stays with the canopy so it won't get lost and no tools are required to install/remove the canopy. <div><br></div><div>Jim</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Dec 29, 2010, at 10:55 AM, colin chariandy wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">I'm finishing the canopy on my Xigris and havent decided between at least one 4-40 screw at the aft top or a hatch latch.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "> </div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">I've always used 2 screws....would'nt dream of a latch with a glow model.
