I believe any solvent you try to use to remove the glue or soften it is going to ruin the canopy.

I actually just removed a canopy that was attached with ZAP Formula 560 canopy glue. I used an xacto knife to work the joint and denatured alcohol to clean up the residue. Worked great.

Thanks. I'll give it a try (crossing my fingers).
