2.3.7 Insert the Canopy Latch part into the slots located on the back of Canopy
Hatch 3. Insert the spring into the hole located on the end of the Canopy Latch.
2.3.8 Glue the Canopy Latch Cover into place. You’ll see a slot in the Canopy Latch
Cover where the spring will insert. Ensure the Canopy Latch Cover is fully
seated to the back of Canopy 3. This will keep the spring slightly compressed.
BE EXTRA CAREFUL NOT TO GLUE THE CANOPY LATCH PART IN PLACE AND
IT IS FREE TO SLIDE BACK AND FORTH.
