I would like to put some p seal at the fwd and aft edges of the canopy, I'm thinking 3/16 inch p seal might do it. Can anybody recommend a brand or source for p seal that has good adhesive.

I perused the aviation seal aisle at Home Depot and picked out a couple I thought might work. Needed to be very thin to avoid raising the front edge of the canopy. And BARELY compressing so as to not put an upward force on the edge of the plexi which over time will crack it over the fasteners to the frame. It does keep quite heavy rain out.
Didn't try and tackle the rear edge. That was going to need a flange to support the seal and that was going to be too big a deal. In practice - in rain - it barely leaks there. It's the front edge that matters.
