Since you state that you are "looking into" a new canopy, can we assume that
the old one is not broken?
If it is not broken, it may be possible to revive the old one with one of
the repair kits like Micro-mesh. Available from aircraft supply place,
possibly Tim Mara.

Our club is looking into a new canopy for a Grob 103 Twin Astir. We
received
an estimate from a well-known repair shop: $2,000 for the canopy and 50
hours of labor to install. I'm new to this field - I fly 'em, I don't fix
'em. But I'm having a hard time imagining what steps must be involved to
consume 50 hours. Hinge, latches... what am I missing?
