Canopy Lock Other View130 viewsI removed the tumbler assembly and ground the housing down so it is below the lock tumbler by the thickness of the canopy skins. This allowed me to drill a perfectly matching hole without the dishing out of the opening called out for by the manual. The lock installation looks much cleaner this way. The tumbler can be removed for canopy painting and reinstalled after the paint is buffed out.Mar 13, 2007
