Tom
My original lakester canopy which is being retained for the liner is hinged 
at the front on a 1/2" tubular structure, assisted by two gas springs.  The 
aluminum canopy Dzus fastens to the structure.
Two very good things about this design
1.  It opens up with an unlatch and push motion.
2.  It opens up far enough that I can stand up while getting out.  It helps 
a lot with getting  in/out especially if I have to do it quickly.
Credit Mel Swain with the design and execution of this part of the car.
Photo is attached that shows some detail.
Sorry you other guys.  autox will strip the photo
