3D Elastomeric Resin-Printed Sliding Canopy Shock Absorber

Cutting and fitting an expensive canopy is one of the most time consuming and worrisome tasks in a kit build.  If you spent 350 hours on the canopy, then you'll appreciate the skipped heartbeats any time a perspex canopy slips out of hand and rolls to a sudden stop (especially under power), potentially causing cracks.  Pliable like silicone, these elastic shock-absorbers are profiled to fit perfectly inside the standard Vans canopy rail extrusion. One of the cheapest and best investments you'll ever make, they are simple to install, simple to replace (when they eventually wear out) and stay put without adhesive or lock wiring.

Available in 1+1/8" (28mm - softest) and 1.5" (36mm - firmest) lengths to suit your preference for the level of shock absorption and longevity versus canopy opening space.
