If you haven't been able to source the foam seals that are installed under the top (directly above the windows), you should make your own seals from foam rubber material. There are a couple of photos of the seals on the article in Mike Focke's website. If you need more photos, I may have a few more. Let me know and I will try to track them down.

Also, make sure that you have some clamps on hand to properly hold the canvas in place after it is folded over the leading edge of the frame.

Having some lubricant available for rubber can also help when you are pressing the three rubber gaskets in place into the channels on the rear main bow.

If you take your time and follow the instructions without cutting any corners, you will have an excellent result.
