Noisy Mecaplex Window
I had a similar problem a while ago when the sliding portion no longer had
the same curve as the canopy causing a slight gap. I fixed it by removing
the window, immersing in very hot/boiling water which allowed me to bend it
sufficiently to match the canopy.

The Mecaplex sliding window on my ASW 24 emits a loud whistle while in
the closed position, at all airspeeds.
The noise can be made to go away if I press firmly outward at the
trailing edge of the sliding window.
After a while it is so bothersome as to give me a headache. I have
tried stuffing a piece of paper towel in between canopy and window and
this will quiet the noise for the rest of the flight.
Note this canopy is a replacement, not original equipment.
Any ideas for a permanent fix would be appreciated.
