Default PW-5 Canopy jettison adjustment

Greetings,

While doing some minor maintenance, the canopy of the PW-5 that I was working on auto jettisoned it's canopy on the ground. Others around said this was a somewhat known issue and this had happened before after a firm landing.

I noticed there are 3 contact points between the support structure and the canopy and wondered if a slight adjustment to the supports might tighten up the interface.

Any other PW owners have any experience/suggestions?

Thanks,

Mark
