I am trying to reduce the wind noise in my Duo Discus. I've tried

have a "Perfect" or even "pretty good" solution to getting the canopy to
fit tight enough to be quiet but loose enough to open and close without too
much hassle?

Two methods I know of:

1. Mylar tape on the outside of the canopy, similar as you would use on
the aileron. Seems OK for a private glider, tends to be prone to damage
in club gliders.

2. Use silicon sealant (or similar) to reduce the gap between fuselage
and canopy. Cover the canopy side with cling foil, apply the silicon
sealant into the gap in the fuselage and then close canopy until sealant
is cured. Be careful not to use too much of the sealant.
