Trimmed the Canopy Sides

Used the same 40 grit sandpaper on a block to remove 1/8" off of the canopy sides. This gave me the correct clearance between the canopy and the frame on both sides. A lot more dust and muscle but it worked.

Ended up with a VERY good fit. Used the very coarse sandpaper (40 grit), then 80, 120, 220. Then formed the edges with the Avery plexiglass scraper to bevel the edges. And finish sanded all of the edges on the canopy with 400 grit. A nice polished surface!
