Has been 4 years and no one has yet posted a picture of the canopy frame closer angle installed? Does the short side of the angle point up or down?

Thanks

Its been such a long time since I did the canopy that I don't recall if I used that thin sheet metal angle or not. A lot of people leave it out and fill the space with a strip of rubber window insulation like the kind you buy at Home Depot that has sticky tape on one side. I will pull my canopy off of the shelf on Monday and take a look. Ill send a pic then.

From the BM “fitting bubble skirt to frame:”

30.Install the closer angle as shown between hinges on the right side. We use 3 M body adhesive tape for nice appearance, but it can be installed with rivets if desired.

“as shown” is not shown in the BM

Thanks!

I am having a brain fart (not an infrequent event). Could anyone take a picture of how the “closer angle” should be positioned? The one that is supposed to go between the hinges on the right side.

Thanks!
