RE: Sliding canopy (how do you do it)
I took a piece of square/rectangular plastic, I want to say from the K&S rack, but I'm not sure. Made a wooden form the shape of the opening. Heated the plastic in the oven, on a flat "something" (maybe a piece of wood), until it was soft, then shaped it around the wooden form, and let cool. It was close enough to shape properly, and glue in place.
