Canopy Seal

I purchased the canopy seal kit from Van's.  One of the things the kit includes is extensions for the 1x1 tubular frame at the forward arms.  Yesterday I cut 2-short pieces of the tubing supplied with the kit to the right shape.  I then prepped, primed and painted the pieces. 
Today at the hangar I installed the extensions.  They are riveted to the frame to extend the tubular framing.  When the airplane is painted I need to touch up the black on the inside of the forward part of the canopy.
