I asked the same question on this Server and a gentleman in Ohio said he had one in his hangar he was not using and I could have it. The plastic was cracked but the metal frame was good. I bought a piece of canopy plastic already cut to size ( 19 3/4 X 28 )from Skyport for $ 35.00 plus shipping. A local shop that is good at rivets installed the piece in the frame. Then went to WalMart, bought a roll of the darkest tint film, installed it and it works very well. I still have a few bubbles on the film but next week we are going to do an Annual so plan to take the insert out and install another piece of film, trying to get rid of the bubbles.
I talked to a Couper at the Convention in June that had one tinted and he said to take the insert to local tint shop and they will tint it for a small price. Called several places and none would tint plastic, only glass. But still checking others. The canopy insert really works great , not only for cutting sun glare, but with the side windows down, the wind noise is gone and still plenty of fresh air coming in the plane. Don't know if this setup helps me pick up the 5 MPH we lose with the windows down, but what is 5 MPH when you are having fun.
