Canopy covers help reduce damage to your airplane's upholstery and avionics caused by excessive heat, and they can eliminate problems caused by leaky door and window seals. They keep the windshield and window surfaces clean and help prevent vandalism and theft.

The Fairchild 24 Canopy Cover is custom designed and fit for each aircraft make and model as well as your aircraft's specific antenna and temperature probe placements. The Canopy Cover is designed to enclose the windshield, side and rear window area (other designs are available). The Canopy Cover is a one-piece design, which wraps around the canopy and closes with Velcro behind the pilot's side door. The Velcro closure allows entry to the airplane without removing the entire cover. The Canopy Cover also attaches by two belly straps, one under the cowling and one under the tailboom, and two snaps above the windshield. Two existing screws along the leading edge wing root fairing are replaced by the snap-head screws that we provide (all you need is a phillips head screwdriver for the initial install). These screws eliminate having to install straps to the trailing edge of the wing that will bang up the top of the wing on a gusty day. Belly straps are adjustable and detachable from either side with heavy-duty, quick release, three-pronged male/female plastic buckles; these buckles are backed to prevent scratching. To insure the most secure fit, high quality shock cord is enclosed in the hem of the cover. This chord is also adjustable for tightness.

Some Canopy covers also provide the snap-on type design which uses snaps along the belly instead of belly straps. Over-the-top designs are available as well that extend over the top of the cabin area to protect skylights and/or serious leaks in the wing root or headliner. An Extended Canopy Cover is also available and extends down to the main wheel struts to cover more paint.

Each canopy cover is custom sewn and the corners are trimmed to match the colors of the airplane. The airplane's registration number can be imprinted onto both sides of the cover for an additional charge. A duffle bag is included with all canopy covers and can be customized with your registration number and/or logo for an additional charge. Each canopy cover is made of nylon Silver Laminate and is lined 100% with Micro-fiber. Bruce's Custom Covers developed Silver Laminate especially for aircraft protection. The outer material is a medium weight nylon treated for ultraviolet resistance and anti-static buildup. The inner lining is a Micro-fiber to prevent scratching. Silver Laminate is extremely reflective. Tests show that the cabin interior temperature can be reduced by as much as 25 degrees F. It is water, ice and snow repellent, yet breathable enough to allow moisture to escape from between the cover and the windshield surface. Silver Laminate does not contain hydrocarbon compounds that can harm plexiglass windshields and acrylic finishes.
